Rafael Nadal, the former world champion, stated on Monday that he anticipates “nothing” from himself before to his comeback to the court in one month.
Despite missing action since January due to a hip ailment, Rafael Nadal, 37, is expected to play in Brisbane soon.
The Spaniard, who dropped to 663rd in the world to begin his final year before his anticipated retirement, will utilize the competition as a warm-up for the Australian Open in Melbourne.
In a social media video, Rafael Nadal stated, “I think I’m ready and I trust and hope that all goes well and it gives me the opportunity to enjoy myself on the court.”
“I set no expectations for myself.
The 22-time Grand Slam winner said, “To have the ability not to demand myself what I have demanded myself throughout my career.”
Since being injured, Serbian world number one Novak Djokovic—who now has 24 major titles—has surpassed Rafael Nadal in the amount of Grand Slam events won.
With the intention of playing at the French Open, where he has won a record 14 times, Rafael Nadal will attempt to return to the greatest level in Australia.
With the Grand Slams and the Olympics, where he won gold in singles in Beijing in 2008 and doubles in Rio in 2016, he is expected to have a hectic last season.
“I think I’m in a different scenario right now. I’m in uncharted territory,” Nadal remarked.
“I’ve internalized the trait I’ve had my entire life: setting the highest standards for myself.
“Right now what I really hope is to be able not to do that, to accept things are going to be very difficult at the beginning and give myself the necessary time,” he said.
