Rafael Nadal will do everything he can to win the upcoming Australian Open.
The Spanish sensation had to withdraw from yet another tournament in Brisbane because of a problem to his left leg, but he is still very optimistic about his chances to win Melbourne because of his actual good level of tennis and his huge experience.
I am going to fight for it. NADAL
During the press conference following his announcement that he was withdrawing from the Brisbane International, Rafa explained that he still has high hopes for the Australian Open.
The world no.2 commented
“My hope is to win the Australian Open and being honest I feel myself playing well. I feel myself playing at a good level of tennis. And I feel myself with very high motivation to compete and to play.
I tried to play, and I still wanted to play, but the two doctors from here and the doctors from my confederation in Spain tell me if I play here, there is a risk to don’t have the chance to play Melbourne. Everybody is telling me that it’s not a good idea to increase the possibility to make the strain a bigger problem.
I feel that I can give a good level of tennis, but I can’t do my 100 percent. So if I don’t play here, I probably secure that I’m going to be 100 percent ready for Melbourne.
I showed myself that I can be playing very well without competing for a while. And I’m going to work as hard as I can, and I’m going to play and practice with the highest tactical possible to be 100 percent ready for Melbourne. For me, it’s a big goal to be ready for there, and I am going to fight for it.”
