Nadal speaks after straight sets victory over Dellien: "It's been a solid start"

Rafael Nadal is through his opening round against Hugo Dellien at the 2020 Australian Open in a straight sets victory and he was pleased in the aftermath.

Nadal said that his first few sets were tentative; but as soon as he got into his stride he was playing at the level he wanted to.

"It's been a solid start. I think the third set was a great set. I think I played a very good level of tennis," Nadal said. "The first two, I played with a little more caution... Just trying to play a solid game with not many mistakes.

"Then, of course, with an advantage in the score, I tried to play the way that I really believe I need to play if I want to have a positive result here."
