Newly returned Rafael Nadal will have only a few days at home - with sponsor commitments already on the calendar - before flying on Sunday to Rotterdam to resume his tennis season.
The No.1 will play as top seed at the ABN AMRO World tennis tournament with Andy Murray also in the field.
That kind of scheduling leaves little time for the Spaniard to enjoy his sixth Grand Slam title, earned over Roger Federer in Melbourne.
Nadal maybe settling in to his new status with six majors in his racket bag, but he knows he will have to keep keep working just as hard in coming months.
"I know it is very difficult, every title, I know how tough is win every one. I don't know if I'm gonna win more, but for sure I'm gonna keep trying," said the Spaniard before departing for home.
After observing the once-untouchable Federer drop a level, Nadal knows that he also cannot remain an fearsome winning machine forever. "When I won my first one (Paris, 2005), I didn't know if I was gonna win more. You never know when it stops. You always have to be cautious and you have to be humble."

No time to enjoy his Melbourne glory? He'll have the rest of his life to remember it! Is true, no?
