Nadal is Back! Tennis legend announces his return to action in January 2024

Tennis legend Rafael Nadal has announced his return to active playing one year after his last appearance at the 2023 Australian Open.

The 22 Grand Slam champion is scheduled to play in Brisbane in January 2024, as he looks to have a successful ending to his glorious career at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Nadal released a post on his social media pages to announce his comeback and willingness to have a worthy career ending.

Nadal has been out of tennis action since being defeated in the second round of the 2023 Australian Open and was scheduled to return six to eight weeks later, but that hasn't been the case.

The 37-year-old Spanish player has been out of tennis action since he was defeated in the second round of the 2023 Australian Open, in which an MRI scan showed that the former World No. 1 Tennis player had suffered a Grade 2 injury to the Iliopsoas and will be out for 6-8 weeks.

He never made his return throughout the season as he struggled to recover from the injury, but instead decided to focus on the 2024 season, which will be his retirement year.
