Melbourne (AFP) - Rafael Nadal revealed on Saturday he was back to full fitness and has a brand new serve to unleash at the Australian Open.

“I feel good. If I am not feeling good, I will not be here,” Nadal told reporters two days before the start of the first Grand Slam of the year.

“I have good feelings in terms of the surgery. After surgery, after months without competing, having trouble practising, of course there are always issues when you come back.

The new "Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre" will open its doors next April at Sani Resort in Halkidiki, Greece.
