Rafael Nadal has confirmed his latest comeback from injury ahead of the Australian Open 2024.<\/p>\n

The 22-time grand slam champion will return to the court at the Brisbane International in the first week of January.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard has confirmed his schedule after weeks of speculation, with Australian Open chief Craig Tiley confident he would see the 37-year-old back at Melbourne Park in January.<\/p>\n

Nadal has not played a competitive match since bowing out in the second round of this year\u2019s edition of the grand slam, with his hip flexor problem costing him most of the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

Nadal said: \u201cHello everyone, after a year away from competition, it's time to come back. It will be in Brisbane the first week of January. I'll see you there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ATP 250 event, held at the Queensland Tennis Centre, will begin on 31 December and conclude on 7 January, with the first slam of the calendar year at Melbourne Park beginning on 14 December.<\/p>\n

In the 2022 final against Daniil Medvedev, Nadal became the first man in the Open era to come back from two sets down to win the title.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rafael Nadal has not played since the Australian Open in January <\/p>\n

Nadal has expressed a desire to play one more French Open and represent Spain at the Paris Olympics next year before retiring at the end of his 23rd season on the tour.<\/p>\n
