Two-time former Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal was forced to withdraw from this year’s edition of the event on Sunday with yet another hip injury.
The Spaniard sustained the injury against Australia’s Jordan Thompson in the quarterfinals of the Brisbane event.
Hi all, 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.

The 22-time Major winner has been affected with multiple injuries throughout his illustrious career.
The Australian Open begins on January 14 in Melbourne.
