Nadal announces return to court

Former world number one Rafael Nadal says he'll be back training next week.
The Spaniard is setting his sights on August's US Open, the only Slam to elude him to date, and on reclaiming the top ranking from Roger Federer.
The 23-year-old is now in Barcelona receiving treatment for his troublesome knees.
Tendonitis forced the Spaniard to withdraw from the all-England club’s tournament and Spain's Davis Cup squad.
The six-time Grand Slam champion plans to play a hard court tournament in Montreal on August 10, before taking the trip to Flushing Meadows, New York on August 31.
Nadal's best showing there was a semi-final appearance last season.
