Rafael Nadal's Australian Open decision
Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal has announced his withdrawal from the Australian Open, the first grand slam tournament of the season, due to an injury.
Nadal, who has 22 grand slam titles in his career, stated in a post on social media, "During my last match in Brisbane I had a small problem on a muscle that as you know made me worried. Once I got to Melbourne I have had the chance to make an MRI and I have micro tear on a muscle, not in the same part where I had the injury and that’s good news. Right now I am not ready to compete at the maximum level of exigency in 5 sets matches. I’m flying back to Spain to see my doctor, get some treatment and rest. 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. It is sad for me not to be able to play in front of the amazing Melbourne crowds. I really wanted to play here in Australia. Thanks to all for the support and see you soon."
