Grand Slam record champion Rafael Nadal returns to the ATP tour next week after suffering an abdominal muscle injury.
As the 36-year-old Spaniard announced on Instagram on Wednesday, he will serve at the Masters in Cincinnati in preparation for the US Open (from August 29).
Nadal had suffered an abdominal muscle injury at the Wimbledon lawn classic and did not compete in the semifinals against Australian Nick Kyrgios.
He had postponed his originally planned comeback in Montreal this week. In Cincinnati, Nadal is back at the start for the first time in five years.
