Rafael Nadal will hope his new aggressive approach can earn him Australian Open revenge against Novak Djokovic seven years on from their first final in Melbourne. "I gave it my best and him, too..so [it] was a great final" -- @RafaelNadal spends time speaking with media ahead of tomorrow's final. “Today I have to adapt my game to the new time and to my age,” said Nadal. Nadal has lost eight straight matches dating back to the US Open final in 2013, while he also lost their last meeting, another titanic scrap in the Wimbledon semi-finals last summer. I think it adds more pressure on his serve and my serve, as well, because we return well.
