Nadal recovers from injury

Rafael Nadal has recovered from injury and made himself available for Spain\'s Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic in December.



Nadal underwent successful medical tests in Barcelona on Tuesday that showed the 23 year old Spaniard was ready to return for the first time since his U.S. Open semifinal.



Nadal hasn\'t been on court since that semifinal defeat to eventual champion Juan Martin del Potro, when an abdominal muscle injury hampered the Australian Open champion.



Nadal says he will resume his planned schedule starting with next week\'s China Open, before traveling to the Shanghai Masters, the Paris Masters and the ATP World Tour finals in London.



Defending Davis Cup champion Spain hosts the Czechs in the final from December 4 to 6.
