Undercooked Nadal targets number 23 at Melbourne Park - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Rafa Nadal will head into the Australian Open undercooked and with only one win to his name since September’s United States Open, but it would surprise nobody if he retained the title he won for the second time last year.

While hardly ideal, fitness counts a lot more than form at this stage of his career and the 36-year-old Spaniard is possibly in a better position than he was at the start of last season, when he thought a foot problem might end his career. As world number two, Nadal will be top seed on his 18th trip to the Australian Open after the injury withdrawal of his young compatriot Carlos Alcaraz.
