Tennis Nadal wins doubles match on Chilean comeback Rafa Nadal made a successful comeback after a seven-month injury absence with victory in the first round of the Chilean Open doubles on Tuesday. The former world number one and Argentine partner Juan Monaco overpowered second-seeded Czechs Frantisek Cermak and Lukas Dlouhy 6-3 6-2 in 65 minutes at the Pacific coastal city of Vina del Mar. Spanish left-hander Nadal had been out with a knee problem since losing to Czech Lukas Rosol in the second round at Wimbledon in June. The 26-year-old's planned return at the end of last year was delayed due to illness but he will compete on his favourite clay surface at three Latin American events this month. On Wednesday, Nadal plays a second-round singles match against Argentine qualifier Federico Delbonis. After the Chile tournament he will compete at the Brazil Open in Sao Paulo next week and the Mexico Open in Acapulco from February 25.

Davis Cup (tennis) Andy Murray unavailable for Great Britain's tie against Russia Andy Murray will play no part in Great Britain's Davis Cup tie with Russia due to clay court commitments. The US Open champion narrowly missed out on a second Grand Slam title in falling to Novak Djokovic in this month's Australian Open final - and is determined to begin the upcoming clay court season in style. "It's a shame to miss out on the Davis Cup, as I always enjoy playing," world number three Murray said. "I speak to (Great Britain captain) Leon Smith and the team on a regular basis and will definitely be available to play the next Davis Cup tie later this year." Murray, 25, has traditionally struggled to produce his best on clay and has reached the semi-finals of the French Open just once, when he was muscled out by Rafa Nadal in 2011. In his absence, Smith's Great Britain team will be bidding to reach the 16-nation World Group play-offs by surprising the Russians at Coventry's Ricoh Arena in the first week of April ...

Australian Open - ATP to discuss time-violation rule with players ATP chief Brad Drewett will meet with players to address concerns over a new rule aimed at speeding up the game that has drawn criticism from professionals on the men's tour. This year, the ATP are enforcing a regulation that gives players 25 seconds to serve the ball or face a warning and then the loss of a point for a second violation. The new rule has sparked complaints from players who have fallen foul of the law. Grand Slams have had a time limit of 20 seconds for a number of years but the rule is rarely enforced and top players like Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic regularly flout it with drawn-out preparations to serves. The new rule was endorsed by the ATP player's council last month but stricter enforcement at warm-up tournaments ahead of next week's Australian Open has raised concerns from players about a crackdown at the year's first Grand Slam where five-set matches in extreme heat often feature.

Australian Open officials sympathize with Rafael Nadal Australian Open officials yesterday said they fully understood Rafael Nadal’s decision to miss the first Grand Slam of the season in Melbourne and wished him a speedy return to the tour. The Spaniard announced his withdrawal from the tournament on Friday, saying he was still suffering from the stomach virus which caused him to cancel his return to action in the Gulf this week after a six-month injury absence. “We consider it not appropriate to play the Australian Open since we will not have enough preparation for a great competition like a Grand Slam tournament,” said Toni Nadal, the player’s uncle and coach. “It is simply not conceivable that his first event is a best-of-five-sets tournament, he wouldn’t be ready for that. It is true we have been quite unlucky with this, but there is nothing we can do,” he said. PULLED OUT Nadal, an 11-time Grand Slam title winner, also pulled out of the Qatar Open, which starts tomorrow and where he wa ...

Star Sports is showing highlights of that extraordinary Australian Open 2012 final between Novak Djokovic & Rafa Nadal !

Nadal: "People have to take it easy, I need time ' With his return just five days away, Rafa Nadal, insistent about asking for calmness because what matters just now is his knee, is not nervous. The only Nadal we know is the one with the raised clenched fist, the one taking a bite at a trophy, Nadal the winner who includes eleven Grand Slams among his fifty titles. But the Balearic player, who is now world number four because of the circumstances, insists there are no miracles in tennis and he needs time, to listen to what his body tells him, to take things calmly. In the spectacular scenery of the Vall d'Or golf club, near his beloved Manacor, he talked to ABC for almost an hour about this process without looking any further ahead than Abu Dhabi, where he reappears on Friday (28 December) against the winner of the match between Janko Tipsarevic and Andy Murray.

MADRID (Reuters) - Rafa Nadal is aiming to be back to his best after injury in time for the claycourt season and the run-up to Roland Garros, the Spaniard said on Monday. Nadal was diagnosed with a partial tear of the patella tendon and inflammation of the left knee, only returning to hitting balls on a practice court two weeks ago. "My recovery is going well and the doctors are pleased," Nadal told Spanish radio. "I have to look at my career with a five-year view. I considered having surgery, but the doctors have always preferred not to take risks with my treatment." The 11-times Grand Slam singles champion was pragmatic about his return to competition. "I would like to return in January," he said. "I don't expect to return and win the Australian Open, I have to be realistic. The results will not worry me in the first tournaments back. "I have to take into account my form after so long out. It wouldn't bother me if I slipped down to 15th in the world as long as inside I knew was able to continue. "I want ...

I've only read like 4 books in these holidays because I read rafa's book more than 3 times! Honestly love nadal!

Great to see Andy Murray today but looking forward to the return of Rafa Nadal for the US open

I'd rather not be the ill be the white Rafa Nadal instead.

me too! I love Rafa Nadal but since he couldn't be there then Del Potro was my choice!

Blake is a baller, if it's the same watch as Rafa Nadal's its worth $500k.

I'm following Rafa Nadal. I didn't like him. I'm growing up :')

he was copying Rafa Nadal who always bites his medals but it looks cheesy when Mo Farah tried it! Lol!

Nadal fans are having a field day: Rafa won the Golden slam, Roger didn't... How can a GOAT have losing record to Murray.. Ect..

don't know where you are reading, but here is the Rafa's FB page

Follow she's awesome, follows back & is a fan of Rafa Nadal!

everytime they do it I just picture Rafa Nadal 😍😍😍😍

but hey great things come to those who wait :o) after Rafa Nadal who is my fav tennis player got injured I went on to support Murray :o)

Wish the gold winners at would stop copying Rafa Nadal - bitting the trophy is his trademark, not yours so beat it!

Congrats to Roger and Especially to Andy, I can imagine the joy of doing at home. -- Rafa Nadal (

lol.. Nadal fans are having a field day: Rafa has Golden Slam... Roger never will... Roger looses to Murray, Rafa wouldn't

Rafa via FB:" Congratulations to Andy, Roger and John Martin. Especially to Andy, I imagine the joy of doing at home"

"Rafa" Nadal is Spanish professional tennis player and a former World No. 1. earning the top spot, 18 August 2008 [12]

It’s true, I think so are Balearic men like Rafa Nadal!

the conversation/debate you had on the Federer supposed dominance over Rafa Nadal, Nole and/or Andy. I couldn't agree more !

The way Andy Murray, first steamrolled past the Djoker & then absolutely destroyed Fedex today, confirms his position as one of the BIG-4 of men's tennis along with Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer & Novak Djokovic !! GOLD-en moment for Great Britain even as the tennis plot definitely thickens now :P Hail the Super Brit !! How I look forward to the US Open Tennis Championships next :)

you've just hit the nail on the head. Maybe sports heroes like Rafa Nadal, Pau Gasol and the rest can help change that.

let's all try to remember Rafa Nadal didn't play in this Olympics so Murray can now go back to losing to RF, Rafa, & Novak in semis & finals

Why is everyone biting their medals now like what Rafa Nadal started in Beijing?

But how do you know how much Andy Murray values it? Rafa Nadal who won Gold in Bejing said it was as important to him as..

Yes, you are right! Rafa Nadal was the defending Olympic gold champion, until today :-))

Djokovic favours hard courts as well & Federer is none too shabby on them either. Rafa Nadal back too. I can’t see it.

you might wanna rethink that opinion, Rafa Nadal has beaten him and Andy has beaten Rafa

So only Andre Agassi and Rafa Nadal have completed career golden Grand Slams.

moi aussi:( I've even posted Rafa photos 2 make up his absence in tennis,my best friend said I'm having Rafa withdrawal

Muzz wins but is trending. That's coz Rafa is the only player with a Career Golden Slam! :)

Guys! Do you know that Nadal will be out for this year, next and will return in 2014! Wish you get well Rafa: Stunning player!

"Nadal is trending. Rafa, you are missed :))" soo missed :/

Nadal is trending. Rafa, you are missed :))

She's just gutted Nadal isn't there, bless her. She's a hardcore Rafa fangirl is wor Maz.

I tink roger is beta. Buh I love rafa to death "Nadal Is Far Far Better Than Murray, Federer

Andy Murray will never be as good as Rafa Nadal, and Rafa Nadal will never be as good as Roger Federer.

Talking about GOATS. Serena Williams with 2 golden slams, Rafa Nadal and Andre Agassi with one. These are true legends to me.

Still I'm on TEAM NADAL!! These guys are lucky enough Rafa is currently nursing uan injury! Heh!

The morngy Scotch git has won gold for , cracked a smile & did a Pat Cash/Rafa Nadal - does this mean he is British???
