NADAL IS BACK TO PRACTICE

World number two Rafael Nadal will resume training on Monday before returning to action at the Montreal Masters in August.

The Spaniard, whose last match was a defeat by Robin Soderling at the French Open, was forced to miss Wimbledon because of tendinitis in his knees.

"I am really looking forward to practice again," the 23-year-old told his official website.

"The event in Montreal is important and I expect to be there fit to play."

Nadal was given the go-ahead to resume training after undergoing tests in Barcelona on Tuesday.

"I am happy with the way the tests went and of the positive evolution of the injury as the doctors are saying," added Nadal.

He will train at his home in Mallorca before his planned return to action in Montral on 10 August.

In Nadal's absence, Roger Federer won the Wimbledon title and returned to number one in the rankings at the expense of the Spaniard
