Nadal returns with a win in Brisbane in first competitive singles match in a year

Associated Press  

BRISBANE, Australia — His arms raised triumphantly, unable to conceal a winner’s grin, Rafael Nadal took time to savor a victory that was 12 months and a lot of rehab in the making. “It’s been the longest period of time without being in a professional tournament since I started my tennis career, so, yeah, it’s an amazing feeling to come back.” Nadal hadn’t played a singles match at the elite level since a second-round exit at the Australian Open last January. “You go on court and you have more nerves than usual because you really at the end hope that you’re going to play at this level, but inside yourself you know that can be a disaster and that, of course, worried me.” He was content with his low error rate, with his game management and with how his body felt after his initial foray back at the top level. “Something that I’m happy with.” Nadal will next play Australian wild card Jason Kubler, who was one set apiece with Aslan Karatsev at 6-4, 6-7 when the No. Victoria Azarenka, another former Brisbane International and Australian Open champion, was broken twice while serving for the match before finally converting on her fifth match point to beat Anna Kalinskaya 6-1, 7-6.
