Rafael Nadal’s return to the ATP tour is imminent as he continues his recovery from a rib injury. The Spaniard has not played since losing to Taylor Fritz in the final of the Indian Wells Masters last month.
After spending several weeks recovering from a stress fracture, the 35-year-old is targeting the Madrid Open for his return and wants to be in peak condition by the time Roland Garros comes around. Nadal returned to training this week and sent a message to his rivals.
"I'm almost ready, I'll be in Paris too and I'll try to be at the top,” he said. The 21-time major winner’s former coach and uncle Toni appeared to confirm his nephew wants to make his return in front of Spanish fans.
