Nadal: "This return means a lot to me"

The sixth tennis player in the world, Rafael Nadal, pointed out that he was happy after winning the tournament in Melbourne, especially because he returned to the court in this way after a break due to injury.

Nadal has not played since August, and he reached the 89th title of his career without losing a set. He was better than Maxime Cressy in the final.

“I want to thank the whole organization here. I am privileged and I am really lucky to be here again. I’m coming back from a challenging period in my career when it comes to injuries, so I couldn’t be happier. This return means a lot to me, with the cup in my hands “, said Nadal, and added:

“This field has always been very special to me. Rod Laver Arena is very special for everyone, and you make it even better. You are a great audience, and I cannot thank you enough. “

As we have already mentioned, this was not only his first match since August, but also the first final on Australian soil since the final of the Australian Open in 2019, in which he lost to Novak Djokovic.
