Rafael Nadal's team respond to claims Spaniard 'will definitely play Australian Open'


“I will start progressive functional rehabilitation immediately and the normal recovery process they tell me is 5 months, if all goes well.”

The rehabilitation process appears to be going to plan with Nadal already back on the tennis courts. Nadal took to social media earlier this month to post a clip of him hitting balls on a tennis court for the first time since before his operation.

It was originally hoped that Nadal would potentially eye the Davis Cup Finals at the end of November as his targeted return. But Spain were unable to make it out of the group stage after Carlos Alcaraz skipped the group stages in Valencia in a devastating blow. The Finals will be held in Malaga.
