127 days have passed since Rafael Nadal played his last official game in the eighths of the Open 500 of Washington with defeat against Lloyd Harrys.

Nadal goes with lead feet in his recovery and that is why he will dispute the exhibition of Abu Dhabi (December 16 to 18), the final test to know if he will later travel to the tour of the antipodes."I have the illusion of returning as soon as possible, but well; Abu Dhabi will be a test," he says.
If you do not suffer from the discomfort in your foot, you will play a tournament in Melbourne (January 4 to 9) as a prelude to the Australian Open, which begins on the 17th of the same month in the same city and on the same tracks.
Nadal, according to medical recommendation, wanted a progressive increase in workloads and also in the intensity of their parties.They are not the same braking and rhythm changes in a match that in a preparatory session.
That is why he preferred to reappear in the circuit in a 250 category OPEN rather than to do it at the ATP Cup where Top players would have had to be measured from the first day.
