Rafa Nadal confirms return to tennis in Abu Dhabi

Rafael Nadal will return to tennis at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi at the end of December after six months out with a knee injury.

Rafa has not played since Wimbledon because of a partial tear of the patella tendon and an inflammation in his left knee.

"Can't wait to get back on court in Abu Dhabi at the end of the month," He wrote on his Facebook page.

"I won the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in 2010 and 2011," he added. "Would love to get my hands on the trophy again this year!"

Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Janko Tipsarevic, David Ferrer and Tomas Berdych will be there too.
