Rafael Nadal is set to make a highly anticipated return to the court at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open 2024, as announced by the tournament on Instagram. Scheduled to take place from February 19-24, the ATP 250 event in Doha has eagerly welcomed the Spanish tennis icon.
In an enthusiastic post, the tournament declared, “Doha, get ready for the return of El Matador. Thrilled to see Rafael Nadal back in action at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open 2024. Vamos!”
Nadal’s absence from the competitive tennis scene in 2023, following the Australian Open, was attributed to an injury. However, the seasoned player marked his comeback this month at the Brisbane International, where he impressively reached the quarter-finals. The Spaniard later disclosed that a micro tear in a muscle had compelled him to withdraw from the first major tournament of the season.
Boasting an impressive record with 92 tour-level titles to his name, Nadal’s last appearance in Doha dates back to 2016. Notably, he secured victory in the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in 2014, making his return to the tournament an event of great significance for fans and tennis enthusiasts alike. As the countdown to February begins, anticipation is building for Nadal’s participation in this prestigious event.
