The fact that winning the Australian Open for the second time means a double career Grand Slam for him will make the Spaniard work doubly hard to try and achieve it.

After the 2009 glory, the world no. 9 hasn’t been able to clinch the coveted trophy again. In 2012, he lost an epic 5-hour 53-minute tussle with Novak Djokovic in the finals of the tournament. In 2014, he faced Stanislas Wawrinka who stunned him to win the first Grand Slam of his career.

This year might be Nadal’s best chance to add the 2nd career Grand Slam to his list of achievements. “If I am able to compete well from the beginning, you never know what can happen.”

If Nadal has so much confidence, we can’t we have it too?
