Rafael Nadal, absent from the Australian Open due to a recent hip concern in Brisbane, is set to stage his comeback next month at the ATP 250 tournament in Doha, starting on February 19.
Notably, Rafa, who won the Doha tournament in 2013, hasn’t participated since 2016.
The upcoming event will feature a strong field, including players like Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, and Andy Murray.
Vamos Rafa!

Rafa you are and will always will be my tennis hero ‘ there will never be a Star like you in my eyes .
I don’t want him to come back before clay season bcz there lies his best chance due to his injury concern. He should experiment his body there. Best my most inspiring athlete
I think now to the chances of Nadal being injured during practice is just as high as being injured during the game.
Dear Rafa, very happy for you if you can come back to compete , if not – you have my support and my wish for your health and every success
❤️
Rafa is on the entry list for Doha, but we have to see if he actually participates. Good luck whatever you do champ!
2013 was such a glorious year!
God bless Rafa. Be happy and content wherever you are champ!
So if it is Doha instead of South American clay court season then we might see Rafa in Dubai as well. Most probably.
Thanks for the good news…it brightens up my day!🌞
Vamos Rafa💪❤️🎾

Dear Rafa. I know it’s your life, decision and choice…nothing makes me happier, knowing your are recovering or should it be, 100% fully recovered, but as h/courts are not kind to you, my 100% hope is you delighting millions at RG lifting no. 15. i know I am not alone in this WISH.
