Former world number three and 2002 Wimbledon finalist David Nalbandian will make his comeback from hip surgery in an exhibition tournament in Buenos Aires in December.

The Argentine, who had surgery in May, will be joined in the tournament on the clay courts of the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club by Chile's Fernando Gonzalez, Spaniard Carlos Moya, Russian Marat Safin, Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis and compatriot Juan Monaco.

Nalbandian plans to return to the ATP circuit in January in Sydney where he will defend his title and play in the Australian Open.
