Rafa Nadal and his entourage have opted to offer their sensations before the imminent return in Brisbane in small doses. Brief appearances in which the winner of 22 Greats tells how she is feeling before the start of the Australian tour. «I have been training for good weeks at a level that allows me the possibility of competing again. I have gone through many phases, but today I think it is time to return to a tournament that I have already played in the past and that is familiar to me. I know it’s a difficult tournament, but I hope I’m ready to compete. I don’t aspire to anything else, just to be competitive,” said the man from Manacor.
«It has been a long year, in which we have gone through many phases, from trying to compete again in the gravel season, week after week, disappointment after disappointment, until it was time to stop and say ” ‘enough’ and really look for a solution, which was the operation. In other words, from then on, everything has been a new horizon, a difficult path; but well, always maintaining the hope of returning,” he revealed.
Thus, Nadal described the uncertainty surrounding his iliopsoas injury that he suffered in the second round of the Australian Open. «Of course there have been many doubts during this time, of course there have been moments when it seemed impossible for this moment to come, but the spirit of work, the enthusiasm, has been maintained and I think I am ready to return. I don’t know what level I am at, I don’t know what to expect; I have no idea, but I don’t care right now,” he says.
Rafa insists again that now there is no defined objective. He is about feeling capable of competing and enjoying the circuit again. “I’m just happy to be back, with the utmost enthusiasm to make the effort necessary to have fun and I think be competitive,” he concluded.
