But it is the return of Rafael Nadal which will garner all attention with the Spaniard set to play for the first time since his Melbourne injury heartbreak against Mackenzie McDonald in January 2023.
He is currently as of time of writing training in Kuwait ahead of his return and this will be the first gauge as to where he currently is at in his twilight as 2024 could be yet his last season. Others involved include Ugo Humbert, Sebastian Korda and also the return of Reilly Opelka who like at the Australian Open will use his protected ranking to play Brisbane of 33rd in the world.
