Part-time Bermuda resident and former two-time US Open tennis champion Pat Rafter said yesterday he was too busy enjoying fatherhood to consider making a tennis comeback.

And he'll likely be spending a lot more time in his native Australia rather than his home on the Island.

"I'm a long way behind getting back on the tennis court, that's for sure," Rafter said. "It's a really long process. No, at this stage, no I'm really enjoying it (the break)."

Joshua Patrick Rafter was born on August 1, the first child for Rafter and his girlfriend, Lara Feltham.

Rafter, who has been on a year-long break from tennis most of which he has spent in Australia, said Joshua was doing well, but needed "fattening up" before making the planned move to the family's luxurious new home on Sydney harbour from their rented beachfront apartment in Noosa north of Brisbane.

"He's getting some sleep, I'm getting some sleep - my girlfriend is probably not getting as much as I am," said Rafter.
