Tennis star Rafael Nadal was amused to find one of the journalists fast asleep during his post-match press conference at the Australian Open.

Nadal spotted the sleeping man while another journalist was asking him a question. He immediately broke in a laughter, while the entire room joined him.

Eventually, Nadal woke up the journalist as he asked him: "It's not interesting today.”

"I know, you were closing your eyes to be more focused on what I was saying," Nadal said as he, continuing to poke fun at the journalist as he tried making the situation less awkward for him.

After an being injured for a greater part of 2018, Nadal was back to his classic self as he defeated local favourite James Duckworth in 2 hours and 15 minutes in the first round match.

"It was good. It is normal that beginnings are tough, but every day helps and every day makes me feel better, makes me feel more confident," added Nadal, who had to limp out of both the Australian and US Opens last year.
