Nadal won a record 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open — just his second triumph at the event in his career — and one that came after a long lay-off with a foot injury. Ad/> The elite of men's tennis don't hit the dirt in earnest until April but when they do, Corretja believes Nadal will possess all his usual dominance, plus the mental boost of that win in Melbourne.
