Rafael Nadal is not putting a lot of pressure on himself ahead of his first tournament in more than a year. The 37-year-old Spanish lefthander is set to return at the Brisbane International next week after almost a year out with a hip injury. The 22-time Grand Slam singles champion's last match was a second-round loss at the Australian Open in January, and Nadal eventually decided to have surgery on his troublesome hip in June. Thousands queued for a glimpse of Nadal on Friday at a fan appearance in downtown Brisbane when Nadal was keen to play down the prospect of a title in the Queensland state capital — or a third Australian Open crown beginning January 14 in Melbourne.
