Tennis player Rafa Nadal is ready for his return after almost a year of absence due to injury. His return will be in the Brisbane tournament, where he will not only compete in the individual category, but will also participate in the doubles team with his coach, Marc López. Nadal and López, who have a joint record of five titles, will debut this December 31 in doubles, with a schedule yet to be determined. On the other hand, Nadal will begin his path in the individual category on January 2.

Collaboration on the doubles circuit is not new for Nadal and López, who have obtained victories in tournaments such as Doha and Indian Wells, and won the gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. The organization of the doubles tournament Brisbane provided them with an invitation to participate in the doubles draw after the approval of the Manacorí team.

Marc López, officially retired after the Madrid Masters 1,000 in May 2022, temporarily returns to competition. This decision is strategic, as it allows Nadal to adjust his game and physical form by having his coach as a court partner. Nadal, known for his competitive spirit and his desire to maintain a high level of tennis, faces the challenge of returning to the rhythm of competition after the break due to his injury.

It is not the first time that a tennis player returns to competition in the doubles table after an injury. For example, Carlos Alcaraz, after suffering an ankle injury in 2021, planned to participate in the ATP 250 in Umag with his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, although that partnership did not materialize due to anti-doping control regulations.

The tennis world awaits Rafa Nadal's first shots on the Brisbane court, where he has demonstrated his greatness on countless occasions. The exact schedule of the matches has not yet been determined, but the fans are already counting the days to witness the return of one of their most beloved idols.

With the combination of his historic determination and the experience of Marc López at his side, Nadal faces a new challenge in his career. This tournament is just the beginning of a season in which the Mallorcan will seek to return to the top of world tennis.
