Rafael Nadal undergoes successful appendix surgery

Rafael Nadal is due out of hospital on Tuesday after successfully undergoing surgery on his appendix.

The Spaniard confirmed last month that he would miss the upcoming ATP World Tour Finals in order to fix the long-standing problem.

Nadal's management company announced on Monday that the 28-year-old's operation was completed without any problems.

Rafa feeling well, surgery went well, if everything goes as planned out of the hospital tomorrow
