Rafael Nadal will make his return to tennis at the Mubadala World Tennis Championships in a few days and ahead of that event, he was seen practicing in Kuwait.
Nadal traveled to the Persian Gulf in order to prepare for the upcoming 2022 season with his first stop being Kuwait. The Spaniard was seen practicing on the court in the city and looking very sharp. The final time Nadal played was at the Citi Open in Washington many months ago and it seems like the injury and surgery are well behind him.
His first match back will be at the Mubadala Tennis event in Abu Dhabi that is set to begin in a few days. Nadal elected to practice in Kuwait on the courts of his own Tennis Academy in the country which was opened last year. The video of his practice was posted on the Academy Instagram Page and Nadal will remain there a bit longer where he will hold a practice session with fans.
After that it's a short trip to Abu Dhabi for some competitive tennis.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
