Rafael Nadal shares after impressive win over Thiem

Sharing with the press after the victory over Dominic Thiem on January 2, Nadal could not hide his joy: "I played solidly, without making many mistakes. I think I was right in choosing the shots I had to make. It was difficult after a long time and I feel satisfied.

My approach is just to try to enjoy every day that I get to play. If I can play more matches it will help me recover and get back to competing with the top players.

My goal is still medium term, in the next few months to try to get back to my best form. At the moment, if I can compete, that's great. Today is a positive day and I will try harder tomorrow."

In the second round of the Brisbane International, Nadal will face Australian tennis player Jason Murray Kubler on January 4. In another notable match, world number 8 Holge Rune will face Shevchenko at 5:00 p.m. today (January 3).

Alongside the 2024 Brisbane International, the 2024 United Cup team tennis tournament is also taking place with great excitement. After two consecutive wins in the group stage, the Serbian team will face host Australia in the quarterfinals, including a men's singles match, a women's singles match and a mixed doubles match.

Novak Djokovic will face De Minaur in the men's singles match at 4:00 p.m. today (January 3). In the two most recent confrontations at the Australian Open, Djokovic overwhelmingly defeated De Minaur.
