Rafael #Nadal is Confident: ´I Will Be at My Best for the Australian Open´ The new season sure didnt start the way many wanted for Rafael Nadal. The ultimate fans, those who wanted Rafael to be at his best taking the moment out of the contest - thus forgetting how the Spaniard dealt over the past months with a wrist injury, a back injury and appendicitis, only to regroup during the off season undergoing a surgery to cure his pain - were expecting the Spaniard to fight until the very last point against Novak Djokovic in the final of the ATP Doha tournament last week. Expectations pumped up by hopes can suddenly become harsh disappointments when things hit the reality of the moment. And the reality is that Rafael Nadal cant currently be at his best, simply because he doesnt have enough tennis in his hands and wrist and hips and legs and lungs to be considered a favorite at any tournament where the other top 10 players are competing. Things, however, could change soon, according to what Nadal said this week to tennis.as when arriving in Melbourne. A surprisingly confident Nadal cant accept to be kept aside for the run to the crown of the 2015 Australian Open, not now that he has found the will and motivation to fully believe his competitiveness and appetite for success. Nadal is training hard, so hard that with his doubles partner Juan Monaco, Rafael would even practice for more than 3 hours under the heat. Pico, as friends call Monaco, himself revealed how he was very impressed by Nadals will and hunger. The way Rafa has been training this week is just impressing. His intensity, the way he hit every single ball have been just incredible. He would always stay focused. The truth is that not many players like to practice with Rafael Nadal, because at the end of the practice session they feel incredibly tired.
