Rafael Nadal set to make his return to action in Barcelona, Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu in Munich and Stuttgart: How to watch over 80 tournaments exclusively live on Sky Sports Tennis

Rafael Nadal is gearing up for his return to action at the Barcelona Open, with the 12-time champion set to face Flavio Cobolli in the first round. The Spanish tennis legend has been out of action since January due to a micro muscle tear but is working hard to make his comeback on the clay surface he loves.

If Nadal is able to defeat Cobolli, he will then face fourth seed Alex De Minaur in the second round. De Minaur, who is enjoying a career-best season, will provide a tough challenge for the former world No 1.

Meanwhile, rising star Carlos Alcaraz is also set to make his return to the court after being forced to withdraw from the Monte Carlo Masters due to a right forearm injury. The 20-year-old has been practicing at his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero’s Academy and is eager to get back to competing.
