MELBOURNE, Jan 22 — Spaniard Rafa Nadal admits he had doubts “every single day” about whether he would ever return after missing the second half of 2021 because of a foot injury.

It kept him on course for a men’s record 21st Grand Slam singles title, but Nadal says he is just happy to be back competing after the dark days of last year. “Of course, I still today have doubts because the foot, as I said the other day, is an injury we cannot fix. So we need to find a way that the pain is under control to keep playing.

With three supremely confident wins in Melbourne, following his title at an ATP warm-up event in the city, 2009 champion Nadal appears to be playing freely and has come a long way since even getting through a practise session was an achievement.
