Rafael Nadal avoided meeting a seed first up at his comeback tournament after drawing a qualifier in the Brisbane International, with Russia's Aslan Karatsev a potential second-round opponent. The 37-year-old Spaniard has been out of the game for almost 12 months following hip surgery after the 2023 Australian Open in January. It was feared that Nadal, the winner of 22 Grand Slam singles titles, would never play professionally again. However, he has fought his way back and was granted a wildcard to the season-opening Brisbane International in preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year at Melbourne Park beginning January 14.
Defending his Olympic gold medal is the top priority for Alexander Zverev in 2004, but the world number seven says he is also ready to contend at Grand Slams. The German brushed aside Karen Khachanov to take the men's singles title at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics 6-3, 6-1, having beaten Novak Djokovic in the semis. It was a moment he still cherishes and the 26-year-old is keen for the Olympic experience again in Paris next year. "It's definitely something that I really am much looking forward to, as defending champion," he said late Friday in Sydney where he is playing for Germany at the mixed teams United Cup.
