¸Nadal's doctor provides health update ahead of his return

Rafael Nadal is scheduled to make his return at the Paris Masters and his doctor provided an update on his condition.

Rafael Nadal's last singles match came at the US Open where he lost to Tiafoe. His next event was the Laver Cup where he teamed up with Roger Federer for his farewell match and since then he's been at home with his wife who recently gave birth.

His next scheduled event should be the Paris Masters and while it's not confirmed his doctor provided a health update saying he is on schedule:

"Rafa is fine, very happy with his fatherhood. Once that situation is fulfilled, which logically takes you out of the day to day, he is training well and following the schedule for the end of the season."

He added:

"I think the secret is hard work, passion for the sport, trying to improve every day, and having outstanding physical tennis qualities. He is a historic player for our sport and there he continues to give us joy."
