Rafael Nadal is absolutely not a fan of the faster courts laid down for this edition of the Australian Open, with the Spaniard complaining that they will cut the spectacle from matches. What he means is more along the lines of what the speed might do his own heavy game which relies on brute power an slower court to bludgeon his opponents.

“I really don’t understand very well why they change because the last couple of years,” complained Nadal prior to his first-round start against Australian Bernard Tomic. “The Australian Open had amazing matching, long ones, good ones for the crowd. I don’t know why the people who decide to make the conditions that fast.

“I’m not sure for the show is the best thing. But they decide and I’m just a player to try to be competitive from the beginning. I am practicing every day as much as I can and with the right intensity, the right attitude.”

Melbourne is the only major where Nadal has won only a single title, but that statistic is not a bother.

“I was not lucky in this tournament in the past. In 2006 I couldn’t play the tournament. Against (Andy) Murray (2010) I had to retired. Against David (Ferrer, 2011) couple years ago, well, I didn’t retire, but I had torn a little bit the muscle in the second game of the match.

“It’s really the grand slam I have the most trouble during all my career.”
