Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal, who has not played a competitive match for more than three months, will return to the court next week at the tournament in Barcelona.
According to the draw made today, in the first round of the tournament in Barcelona, Nadal will play against the Italian Flavi Cobolli, the 63rd tennis player in the world.
The 37-year-old Spaniard injured his thigh in early January at the tournament in Brisbane, and then withdrew from the Australian Open.
He also had to withdraw from tournaments in Doha, Indian Wells and Monte Carlo, each time citing the same reason: "My body won't let me".
Nadal fell to the 646th place on the ATP list, and for the performance in Barcelona he received a special invitation from the organizers.
