Rafael Nadal will return to competitive tennis in Rome later this month.
“The Foro Italico is always a special place for me and even more so this year as it will be my first tournament following a long period without playing,” Nadal said in a video message to fans yesterday.
Tournament officials have said 19 of the world’s top 20 male players will play the tournament, the only exception being the injured Roger Federer.
