Rafael Nadal has announced that he will return to competitive action at the Mubadala World Tennis Championships at the end of December.

The 14-time Grand Slam champion is a regular at the exhibition event in Abu Dhabi and beat Milos Raonic in the final last year, making him a three-time winner of the competition after victories in 2010 and 2011.

"Excited to announce my first tournament back will be in Abu Dhabi at the Mubadala World Tennis Championships in December," Nadal posted on his Twitter account on Monday.

The 30-year-old's 2016 season was plagued by physical problems and he cut his schedule short in October to recover fully and to focus on his 2017 campaign.
