The Spaniard has endured the most traumatic year of his career, with his parents' separation proving a significant distraction before injury denied him the chance to defend his Wimbledon title. Now fully fit again Nadal said he's just relieved to be able to test himself against the world's best again. "For me the main thing is to be here and enjoy this experience. The rest, finishing number one doesn't matter. My only goal is to try to play my best tennis here in London," said Nadal.<br /><br /><strong>LIVE on TV</strong><br /><strong>ATP World Tour finals at 19:45 on Star Sports</strong>
