Paris. — World number one Rafael Nadal returns to the Paris Masters tennis tournament this week for the first time since 2009, happy to be back in the city that has been the scene of some of his finest tennis moments. The 27-year-old Spaniard told a packed press conference on Monday that his motivation was as high as ever, but finishing the year in top spot ahead of his main rival Novak Djokovic was not a priority.

“The easier answer is ‘yes’ but the real answer is ‘no’,” he replied when asked if finishing one of his finest seasons as world number one gave him added motivation.
“When I go to play in every tournament, I play with the same motivation and try to play with the same intensity. — AFP.
