Rafael Nadal to return to tennis court in Abu Dhabi exhibition in January


Rafael Nadal says he will return to the court in January for the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament, after the 14-time Grand Slam champion had his appendix removed this month.




Nadal, 28, had sugery to remove his appendix in the first week of November, a decision that meant he missed the ATP World Tour Finals and brought, to an early end, a season that was plagued by injury and illness.
The Spaniard was troubled by back pain for much of this season, and was sidelined by a wrist injury after Wimbledon.
His win at the French Open in June, the ninth time he has won the Paris tournament, stands out as a rare highlight for the year.
It will be the sixth time Nadal has competed in the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament. He won the tournament in 2009 and 2011.
Nadal said: "I will play in Abu Dhabi in January, and after that I will play my first official tournament in Doha."
                  
The Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament is scheduled for January 1-3.

In addition to Nadal, the world No 3, the tournament includes world No 1 Novak Djokovic, Australian Open champion and world No 4 Stan Wawrinka, No 6 Andy Murray and the French duo of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gael Monfils.
The ATP tournament in Doha, Qatar, will be played the following week. ...Skysports
