There were smiles all round late on Friday when Rafael Nadal touched down in Melbourne and quickly headed for the practice court on New Year’s Day in sweltering conditions, reported The Age. He returned a positive test to COVID-19 after an exhibition event in the UAE last month, threatening his Australian campaign. But our champ will fine-tune his preparations for 2022’s first major at an ATP 250 event in Melbourne next week.
