Rafael Nadal has arrived in Australia, ready for his comeback at the Brisbane International.
This marks his return to competitive tennis since the 2023 Australian Open, where a hip injury cut short his season.
Brisbane spectators, who’ve only seen Rafa play in the city once before, recall his impressive run to the quarter-finals in his previous appearance, culminating in a hard-fought three-setter against Milos Raonic.
As Rafa steps onto the Brisbane courts again, tennis fans eagerly anticipate the resurgence of the 22-time Grand Slam champion.
Vamos Rafa!
