Nadal out of Australian Open

Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal yesterday pulled out of the Australian Open with a “micro tear on a muscle”, barely a week after making his comeback from a year-long injury absence.

“I have worked very hard during the year for this comeback and as I always mentioned my goal is to be at my best level in 3 months.

“Within the sad news for me for not being able to play in front of the amazing Melbourne crowds, this is not very bad news and we all remain positive. 

“Right now I am not ready to compete at the maximum level in five-set matches. I’m flying back to Spain to see my doctor. — Supersport.
