World number two to make comeback in Canada

Rafael Nadal is set to feature in next week's Montreal Masters as he bids to recover his fitness ahead of the US Open. The Spaniard has been out of action for over two months with tendinitis in both knees, but his coach and uncle, Toni Nadal, has revealed he is now ready to return. However, he warned that they will not know how fit the world number two is until he gets out on the court. "Rafa will play in Montreal. It is good news for us," Toni Nadal told Radio Marca. "It's another thing to know what standard he will be at. I imagine he won't be in very good condition. "He has been training but without really pushing it very much. "To see what form he's in, we'll have to see how he copes in a proper match." He added: "There is no particular objective at present. "The challenge is to get back into form and to be in good shape for the US Open."
