The Qatar ExxonMobil Open announced on Instagram that Rafael Nadal is among the entry list for the ATP 250, which runs from 19-24 February.
"Doha, get ready for the return of El Matador," the tournament wrote in a post. "Thrilled to see Rafael Nadal back in action at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open 2024. Vamos!"
Nadal, who did not compete in 2023 after the Australian Open due to injury, made a comeback this month in Brisbane, where he reached the quarter-finals. The Spaniard later revealed on X that he suffered a micro tear in a muscle that forced him to withdraw from the season's first major.
A 92-time tour-level titlist, Nadal has not played in Doha since 2016. He lifted the trophy in Qatar's capital city in 2014.
