Rafael Nadal has confirmed he will return to competitive tennis at the Brisbane International after almost a year out with injury.
The former world number one, 37, has been out of action since injuring his hip flexor in a second-round defeat at January’s Australian Open.
He has previously said he plans to retire at the end of the 2024 season.
“After a year away from competition, it’s time to come back,” the Spaniard said in a video posted on social media.
“It will be in Brisbane, the first week of January. I’ll see you there.”
