BARCELONA, Spain(AP) Rafael Nadal has recovered from an abdominal injury and made himself available for Spain's Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic in December.
Nadal said in an e-mail that medical tests he had in Barcelona on Wednesday showed his stomach muscle had healed. He hasn't played since losing in the U.S. Open semifinals to eventual champion Juan Martin del Potro.
Nadal plans to resume playing at next week's China Open, before traveling to the Shanghai Masters, the Paris Masters and the ATP World Tour finals in London.
Defending champion Spain hosts the Czechs from Dec. 4-6.
Nadal also voiced his support for Madrid's 2016 Summer Olympics bid, which is being voted on Friday with Rio de Janeiro, Chicago and Tokyo the other contenders.
