Rafael Nadal’s first cheer of the 2022 Australian Open was for setting foot on the court. The second was for the mini-jig he danced while limbering up, writes Greg Baum | AustralianOpen Nadal | OPINION
Rafael Nadal’s first cheer of the 2022 Australian Open was for setting foot on the court. The second was for the mini-jig he danced while limbering up.
“[There have been] some very tough moments, with a lot of doubts - and still doubts - but here I am.” So Nadal is not getting ahead of himself. Monday afternoon was what the doctor ordered. Giron was classic first-round fodder, a 28-year-old former US college star who has never been higher than No.57. The last time Nadal was No.57 was in 2004. For Nadal, next weekend is the minimum objective. For Giron, next weekend is Shangri La.
