STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) _ John McEnroe will return to the ATP doubles circuit in October, teaming with Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman at the Stockholm Open.

McEnroe's entry announced Thursday continues an improbable doubles comeback to the ATP Tour that started in February, when he and Bjorkman won the SAP Open doubles title in San Jose, California.

``I look forward to playing with Jonas, and our goal is without a doubt to win the whole tournament,'' said McEnroe, who retired in 1992 after winning 16 Grand Slam titles _ seven singles and nine doubles.

McEnroe, 47, last played in the Stockholm Open in 1985, when he won the singles event for the fourth time. His first victory came in 1978, when he defeated Bjorn Borg on his way to the title.

French Open champion Rafael Nadal and American James Blake will headline the singles draw for the tournament, which will be played Oct. 7-15 in Stockholm's Royal Tennis Hall.
