Argentina's former world number three David Nalbandian has targeted the Davis Cup as a main objective as he steps up his return from a seven-month injury layoff at an exhibition tournament in Buenos Aires this weekend.
The 2002 Wimbledon runner-up, who made a winning return to action at an exhibition tournament last week, has been sidelined with a hip injury since May and has been recovering from surgery in August.
"The first issue is to make it through these first four months," the 27-year-old told a news conference. "I have to be careful and time will tell what goals I can set. But obviously the Davis Cup is still a clear objective; after that, the big tournaments."
Nalbandian is set to return to the ATP Tour at the Jan 11-16 Auckland Open to complete his preparations for the Australian Open, starting in Melbourne the following weekend.
