King of Clay Rafael Nadal Returns


After more than 8 months from the ATP tour, world no 5 and Clay king Rafael Nadal finally makes a comeback into the Atp Circuit. The last we saw Rafael Nadal play when he lost to Lukas Rosal in the 2nd round of Wimbledon last year .Since then Rafael Nadal hasn’t play one tournament due to knee injury .He was actually excepted to make a comeback in the beginning of the season but was again sidelined due to stomach injury .Rafael Nadal who will be playing at Chile's VTR Open in Vina del Mar for the time said

"I need weeks of working [on] the circuit. This is my first week and I don't think the goals are the same that the ones I will have in two more months,” the Spaniard said. “I have to take it slowly and be humble to know that things won't be as good as they were before my injury. I need to be patient,” he added.

I hope the tournament will help me to get the feeling I need to add week after week after a long period without competition,” said the left-hander, adding that “results are the least important thing right now”.

” If my knee doesn't hurt I have no fear. I've had had more serious injuries in the past and I got stronger after them,” said the 26-year-old Spaniard.  
“This is the injury that has sidelined me the longest so maybe it will take me a bit longer to get back my confidence, the good feeling on court, but if my knee doesn't hurt I don't see why I couldn't get back my movements and game style.”

Nadal will be playing his first round singles match on Wednesday courtesy of a bye in the first round as he is the top seed .However he will be playing on Tuesday in the doubles event with
Juan Monaco.
