Rafael Nadal is trying to be realistic ahead of his 1st tournament in a year at Brisbane



BRISBANE: Rafael Nadal is not putting a lot of pressure on himself ahead of his first tournament in more than a year.
The 37-year-old Spanish lefthander is set to return at the Brisbane International next week after almost a year out with a hip injury. The 22-time Grand Slam singles champion’s last match was a second-round loss at the Australian Open in January, and Nadal eventually decided to have surgery on his troublesome hip in June.
