Rafael Nadal's coaching team is getting a boost with former Spanish professional tennis player Marc Lopez joining.

The Spaniard is set to make his return to the courts next week at the Mubadala Tennis Championships which will be the first time he is back on the courts after several months of rehab. The recovery process was a slow one but Nadal needed to do it in order to be fully healthy for the 2022 season. His approach of trying to play through it in 2021 did not yield good results hence the decision to call time on his season early.
