MELBOURNE : An upbeat Rafa Nadal has shrugged off his warm-up defeats ahead of the Australian Open as"just part of the business" and declared himself in a happy place ahead of his title defence.
"That's the real thing. But for the rest of the things that I am building to be ready for a tournament like this one, I feel quite ready. Since bowing out of the United Cup earlier this month with losses to Cameron Norrie and Alex de Minaur, world number two Nadal said his overall condition had improved, and that being a father had not impacted his training regime."But now, no. I am able to do my normal routines, practise as much as I can. I practise probably more than ever, more than the last 10 years the last three weeks.
World number one Carlos Alcaraz, who is not playing at the Australian Open due to injury, was the only player to break the Nadal-Djokovic duopoly by claiming the U.S. Open.
