Nadal: "I'm just trying to do my job".

Nadal: I'm just trying to do my job.

Rafael Nadal has finally played and made a successful return to competition. Absent from the circuit since the French Open, the Majorcan played a serious match in the first round of the ATP 250 in Bastad.

Against Léo Borg, son of a certain Bjorn Borg, he didn't play his best tennis, but played a very serious match to win with authority (6-3, 6-4).

Questioned in the press conference, Nadal made no attempt to boast, but says he is ready for what lies ahead: "I'm just trying to do my job. To tell you the truth, it wasn't really the day to play at an incredible level, the conditions didn't allow me to.

It was the day to play a solid match and stay focused, and that's what I did. I wasn't looking for an answer, I was looking for a solid win.

It gives me a chance to play again and hopefully the weather will be better on Thursday against a good player like Cameron (Norrie). It'll be a good test for me, a different story."
