Rafael Nadal is in contention for the Laureus World Comeback of the Year Award. Nadal is a nominee along with the Oracle Team USA, winner of the America’s Cup, Brazilian soccer player Ronaldinho, golfer Tiger Woods and baseball’s Boston Red Sox.

 

The 15th Laureus World Sports Awards will be held in Kuala Lumpur on March 26.

 

Nadal returned to the tour in February 2013 after being off for seven months with knee trouble and went on to win Roland Garros and the US Open, as well as five ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crowns. He may also be nominated for the athlete of the year award.

 

On February 26 , French World Cup winner Marcel Desailly, top soccer coach André Villas-Boas and five-times world motor cycling champion Mick Doohan will reveal the names of the six outstanding sportsmen, sportswomen and teams in seven different categories, following a ballot by the world’s media.
