Rafael Nadal Set to Play in Barcelona Open
12-Time Champion Returns After Four-Month Hiatus
Barcelona, Spain - Former world number one Rafael Nadal is set to make his return to competitive tennis on Tuesday at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell. The 12-time Barcelona champion is scheduled to face Italian qualifier Flavio Cobolli in the first round.
Nadal's Last Match
Nadal's last match was at the Australian Open in January, where he lost in the second round to American Mackenzie McDonald. Since then, Nadal has been sidelined with a hip injury. This will be Nadal's first match since returning to competition.
Last Barcelona Open
Nadal has won the Barcelona Open a record 12 times, including the last five editions. Should he win the tournament again this year, he would become the first player in the Open Era to win the same ATP Tour event 13 times.
Big Return
Nadal's return to the Barcelona Open is highly anticipated, as he is one of the most popular players in the sport. The tournament is also a key event in the clay-court season, which leads up to the French Open.
Nadal is expected to be among the favorites to win the Barcelona Open this year. If he can stay healthy and play to his potential, he will be a tough opponent for anyone he faces.
