No this isn't trolling it should be for real now.
That means out of Doha as well.

JUST IN - official. Rafa Nadal is out of the Australian Open
due to stomach virus.
Jon Wertheim @jon_wertheim
From the camp : Rafa Nadal will not play DOHA & MELBOURNE... a stomach virus makes him stop his rehabilitation and thinks in the new season
Waaaaay too fishy, I mean really??
Nadal will drop to #5 I guess, well all your wishes came true.
Craig Gabriel @crosscourt1
With Nadal not playing till Acapulco (25 Feb), means by then it would be 8 mths since last official match - 2nd RD Wimbledon
Update: on the official AO website
