Nadal out of Sydney International with right groin injury
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -Rafael Nadal retired from his first-round match at the Sydney International on Tuesday with a right groin injury, less than a week away from the Australian Open.

Australian Chris Guccione was leading 6-5 and the players were on serve in the opening set when the top-seeded Nadal decided, after his second medical timeout of the match, to withdraw.

``I will have some treatment on it Wednesday, and will hope to be 100 percent fit for next week,'' Nadal said. ``The Australian Open is a priority.''

Nadal, ranked second behind No. 1 Roger Federer, missed last year's Australian Open with a foot injury that kept him off the circuit for four months. Nadal, the French Open champion, lost in the semifinals in straight sets to Belgium's Xavier Malisse in last week's Chennai Open in India.

On Tuesday against Guccione, a hard-serving left-hander, Nadal saved two break points in his first service game and then received his first medical treatment in the seventh game.

I saw that on the tennis channel's website earlier.

What's this mean for the Australian Open for him? It was probably just precautionary to make sure he doesn't reinjure himself or make it worse for the big show, the AO. Just to take it easy and not take risks at the start of the season.

 

[Sagittar]

yeah me too ..

 

[Kane]

He said, "I will have some treatment on it Wednesday, and will hope to be 100 percent fit for next week," fer dich.

 

[BlackSheep]

This can't be good for his AO chances!

 

[West Coast Ace]

Or is it good news? Pocketing the appearance fee and getting the rest before the 2 tough weeks of the Aussie Open? No accusations, just putting out a contrarian view...

 

[psamp14]

kane why you be all up in our grill? just messin'

 

[superman1]

The smiley face is unnecessary. Nadal is a good guy and I hope he'll be able to play the Australian Open.

I agree...its one thing to be happy he is out of the tournament because it helps the odds of your favorite player...but to be happy he might be out because he is hurt? i think that is a little messed up...i personally am a federer fan and would love for his chances to be better to win the AO...that being said I would rather his chances be heightened because someone beat nadal before they had a chance to meet or something else...

i really hope nadal gets healthy, if his healing has any paralell to his tennis game...he will be playing...get well soon rafa

 

[AAAA]

His groin injury hasn't been proved one way or the other unless he had a scan.

 

[drakulie]

Like I said before, he won't even make it to the Quarters of the AO.

And this makes you happy?

 

[AJK1]

He better pull out of the AO to save face, and start preparing for the dirt. Federer has him in his sights!

 

[Kane]

kane why you be all up in our grill? just messin'

I'll tak ya back 2 school

BTW, How old arre you?

Only like middle schoolers or hearky lower classmen use that phrase

 

[Kane]

And this makes you happy?

I'll say it, I HATE NADAL

 

[Morrissey]

That whole vibe around that original post was terrible and showed alot of immaturity. First of all, if I were a Federer fan I´d want Nadal to be 100% and hopefully at his best to make a final appearance. That way if Fed were to play his best and beat him at his best that would give me alot more satisfaction than to hope for an injury. I dunno, I suppose Fed fans just want him to go through the draw without losing a set and being challenged by would be contenders. To show happiness at a rival´s injury is really indicative of that person´s personality. I say bring em all on. If he beats them at their best then good for you. Congrats. I suppose if Safin, Nalbandian, Roddick or Baghdatis being hurt would really bring joy the Fed fans because then it´s pretty much a foregone conclusion. Anyway, shame on you for that post, and you call yourself a Federer fan? From what I´ve seen, the majority of these type of posts are coming from Fedfans. Disappointing. I can only imagine the joy this person would get if Nadal were to die in a plane crash.

 

[Morrissey]

I'll say it, I HATE NADAL

Ok, so I hate Federer. But I don´t wish injury upon him. It wouldn´t bring me any joy to see him hurt and improve my guy´s chances of winning the tournament. Actually hate is too strong a word, hate is reserved for George W. Bush but to hate a tennis player is too much for anyone and should really look at the bigger picture in their lives. I just don´t like Federer. To hate a tennis player is too much and probably the product of a sick mind.

Forget this stuff about groin injuries etc. For the real low-down, search out the 'Tennis Nipple' thread in the health & fitness section.

I find your candor and honesty refreshing, and look forward to more of your opinions. You strike me as a thinking-man's fan.

 

[Grimjack]

Grow up, troll boy.

 

[Nadal_Freak]

I'm not a federer friend but I would truly enjoy watching Nadal die in a plane crash

WTH is wrong with you? You are a sick individual.

 

[Kane]

WTH is wrong with you? You are a sick individual.

Sick? You have the audacity tto call me sick when you have a total infatuation with a guy wwho made love on a beach in public, picks his butt, and says bad words to fans?

 

[Morrissey]

Grow up, troll boy.

How hypocritical. Did you not read the first post in this thread? Oh yeah, and the one who said he hated Nadal? Or did you just read the anti-Fed post? First of all, if you read my entire post I actually don't hate him, I dislike him. That's being a troll? Maybe you should look at some of your Fed fan posts about anyone other than federer for troll boy inspiration. Get a life Grimjack. Do something productive with yourself other than attacking people who don't like Federer.

 

[mhstennis100]

Hate is reserved for George W. Bush

and John Kerry, and polar bears

Hey Grim. Do you suffer from schizophrenia? Oh so as long as there are childish, biased, thoughtless comments made about Nadal it is ok and refreshing. Buuut if someone disagrees with that idea it's considered trolling? Hmm, did you get lost trying to go back to that mental institution you came from? I'm really glad you are a Federer fan to be honest. It makes me feel good that the mentally unstable people on these message board are the majority Federer fans and Nadal haters. Thank you for making yourself look like a complete fool. I used to think you had some decent posts to offer this message board but today I must say I'm very disappointed in you. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. RIP Grimjack. :-(

Kane, seriously. Please stay as a Federer fan. You just keep making them look terrible. I know a couple of them are good people and post with actual thought behind them but you really are a sad and pathetic individual. You give a bad name for Federer fans. To take the game of tennis and rooting interest so seriously and personally just shows how pointless your life really is to show utter joy in one's misfortune. It's one thing to be happy for your guy to defeat the one you "hate" but to actually wish death on that person makes you look like the scum of the earth. Hey Kane,do yourself a service to mankind and rid yourself from these boards. Thanks and have a nice day.

 

[intense2b]

Federer is lucky...being a fancy lad he really does not have much of a groin to injure.

 

[jackson vile]

Yet another crap storm, where are the mods, and why are they doing their job?

Same old story. another call for help!! the mods are all Federer fans and will shortly swoop down on all nadal fans.

Sounds like Jackson vile Fed fan. lol

Very true. Uh oh, there's a negative comment about Federer and his fans. Where's the moderators to erase the Nadal fans from the board? Yet comments from Fedfans that wish for Nadal to die in a plane crash go through these boards unscathed. How ironic? That being said, it might just be my last post in here.

at least fed has a *visible* girlfriend, unlike rafa, who has......uncle tony!!!! :mrgreen:

 

[Ronny]

he will play the aussie open, n i m certain of that

 

[equinox]

If rafa doesn't feel 100%. He should just go home and rest. It's crazy playing oz open if he doesn't feel like it. no point.

Yeah exactly, but he's a gamer. If he's injured he probably would skip it, you have to look to the long term. I think he did the same thing at Queens Club the week before Wimbledon and he did quite well. He saved his energy and arm from further damage and he served great at Wimby and had enough gas in the tank to push Fed on grass like no one else has since the final in 2004. He should be rested, healed and ready to go in the extreme heat and high bounce of those sticky rubber courts. Hail Rafa! Fed is still the favorite though.

 

[jackson vile]

Sounds like Jackson vile Fed fan. lol

Just all the BS posting is getting old, stop all the good stuff.

I have done my fair share also, but serious the mods need to lay down some rules and fallow up on them.

No reason to start post that Roger is g a y or Nada is g a y ect.

Either make a real post and add real post to said thread or get deleted.

 

[Kane]

Well, this summer rafa and his gf made out on the beach.

 

[Rudy]

Oh good lord! The only thing said around here that is based in fact is that Rafa picks his butt. I love the kid, but facts are facts.

Seriously, all this bashing, trashing, thrashing, just gets people mad. Lighten up people. Posting on these boards is a hobby. Hobbies should be fun.
