Rafael Nadal showcased impeccable form at the Brisbane International, securing a dominant victory against Australian wildcard Jason Kubler with a scoreline of 6-1, 6-2.
The 22-time slam champion's performance left commentator Peter Psaltis in awe, describing it as "faultless." This remarkable display follows Nadal's impressive showdown against former US Open winner Dominic Thiem earlier in the week, highlighting his remarkable recovery from a 12-month injury hiatus.
Nadal's blend of power and agility on the court has garnered widespread acclaim, dispelling any doubts about his readiness for the upcoming Australian Open. Despite acknowledging the challenges of a two-week slam campaign, Nadal emphasised the importance of playing matches for his overall well-being, stating, "Every day I can play a match is great news for me!"
The Spaniard's journey continues in the quarterfinals, where he is set to face another Australian, Jordan Thompson, marking his 225th appearance in the last eight of a tournament in his illustrious career.
