Rafael Nadal came up just for long enough at a sponsor's event ahead of the Australian Open Tennis on Thursday to declare the sore left shoulder he has carried into the new season was "good" and that he was "hopefully" ready for the year's first grand slam.

With that, the 2009 champion was ushered into a courtesy car and whisked away from the stadium where his bid to hold all four grand slams at once ended last year with a painful leg injury and a straight sets defeat to David Ferrer in the quarter-finals.
