Nadal Set To Return Tennis Betting Action In Montreal Next Month

Rafael Nadal is scheduled to return to tennis competition in Montreal in August, two months after tendinitis in both knees forced the six-time Grand Slam champion to the sidelines.

Nadal had medical tests today in Barcelona and is slowly recovering from his injuries, according to a statement on his Web site. The knee problems prevented him from defending his championship at Wimbledon.


The 23-year-old Spaniard will resume practice on July 20 and return to action on the ATP Tour on Aug. 10 in the Rogers Cup, where he won the title last year, the statement said.

“I am happy with the way the tests went and of the positive evolution of the injury as the doctors are saying,” Nadal said on his Web site. “I am really looking forward to practice again and to do again what I most like: to play tennis.”

Nadal was eliminated in the fourth round of the French Open in June, ending his run for a fifth consecutive championship at the clay court Grand Slam event in Paris. He played an exhibition match on grass courts to test his knees and was seeded No. 1 at Wimbledon before withdrawing three days before the tournament started on June 22.
