Melbourne-Sana
Rafael Nadal's assistant team said today: The Spanish player, ranked second in the world in tennis, will be absent for a period of between six and eight weeks, due to a thigh injury he suffered during the loss in the second round of the Australian Open.
Reuters reported that Nadal's hopes of defending the title collapsed in a bitter manner yesterday, after losing 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 to Mackenzie McDonald in the last chapter of his long history with injuries at Melbourne Park.
