  • Rafael Nadal had a disappointing start to the new season as he suffered a three set defeat against Cameron Norrie in his previous game.
  • The Spaniard will have this one more game left ahead of his appearance in the Australian Open if Spain fails to go past the group stage.
  • A victory thus remains crucial for the Spaniard as it would serve as a morale-booster ahead of his bid for title defence at the Australian Open.
  • After his loss against Norrie, Nadal sounded optimistic as he said he said he needs time to settle and get back to his best.
  • “I think there’s a way to improve but I have time before the Australian Open starts in two weeks. Either way, we still focus on this competition,” he said at the post match conference.
