Rafael Nadal announced on December 1 that he would be making his much-awaited return to professional tennis at the 2024 Brisbane International. Now, Nadal's outfit for the ATP 250 tournament has also been revealed.

The 22-time Major winner will don a light green Nike t-shirt Down Under. He has sported this color a handful of times during his long and illustrious career.

Nadal will pair his light green t-shirt with shorts of the same color, featuring his trademark logo near the seams. The shorts are likely to be compactly sized, in typical Nadal fashion.

The Spaniard will also wear white NikeCourt shoes with a fluorescent green outer sole and toe cap.

Coincidentally, Rafael Nadal wore green a lot during his 2022 season, albeit in multicolor combinations. At Roland Garros, he donned a variety of shades of green like hunter green and lime green. And at the ATP Finals, he complimented green with black.

Apart from those outfits, Nadal also wore green during the 2005 French Open, the 2009 indoor hardcourt season, the 2010 US Open (day session), the 2011 Miami Masters, the 2011 North American hardcourt season, the 2012 Australian Open, the 2015 US Open (day session), the 2020 indoor hardcourt season and the 2021 French Open.

Rafael Nadal will be eager to get his 2024 ATP Tour season off to a good start at the Brisbane International, a tune-up event for the Australian Open. The Spaniard has participated in the 250-level tournament only once before in his career.

Nadal entered the 2017 edition of Brisbane International as the fifth seed. He won his first two matches with relative ease before falling to top-seeded Milos Raonic 6-4, 3-6, 4-6.

Nadal got enough match practice at the ATP 250 tournament back then, considering he hadn't played much in 2016 due to a wrist injury and appendicitis. He was in great form at the Australian Open a few weeks later, getting his revenge against Raonic in the quarterfinals en route to making the championship match.

The 2009 Australian Open champion's campaign, however, ended in disappointment as he suffered a 4-6, 6-3, 1-6, 6-3, 3-6, defeat to archrival Roger Federer.
