Rafael #Nadal absolutely, positively, is a better player when he is stepping inside the baseline to attack 2nd serves. The goal is to take time away from the server & force a Serve +1 error. Great offensive component. Happened right now at #AusOpen practice v Munar.
Rafael Nadal pulled a Houdini some days ago when he appeared in Melbourne at a time when it was not known whether he would play at the event or not.
Nadal shocked many at the Mubadala World Tennis Championships when he admitted that he was unsure whether he would be playing at the Australian Open. A positive COVID-19 test a few days later made things even more complicated but all of that resolved over the Christmas holidays and Nadal arrived in Melbourne before the start of the new year.
A couple of people got a glimpse of Nadal practicing in Melbourne upon arrival and one of them was
Craig O’Shannessy, the founder of Brain Game Tennis. He was impressed by what he saw noting his thoughts in a series of tweets posted on his Twitter page.

He wrote a couple of more tweets and you can check that out below. The overall impression is that Nadal looks healthy and in very good condition three weeks away from the main event.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
