Nadal apparently had an upper leg muscle strain. He retired trailing, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(5), 2-6, 0-2 Kyle Edmund vs Marin Cilic in a slam semi-final. What a time to be alive.- Tumaini Carayol (@tumcarayol) Marin Cilic had that look about him tonight. Magnificent performance, but huge sympathy for Nadal after last year’s incredibly near miss. He virtually never pulls out before the final point.- Russell Fuller (@russellcfuller) Tennis God 1: How can we screw with Rafa this year?
Tennis God 2: Let's have Diego Schwartzman play lights out for an hour
God 1: And then we'll have Marin Cilic play like if Del Potro had Novak Djokovic's return
God 3: And THEN, just as he's winning, he gets hurt- Trenton Jocz (@TrentonJocz) Rafa pulls the ripcord and Marin Cilic is into the semifinals against Britain's Kyle Edmund. Rafa was struggling most of the last set and was in obvious pain. You know this is killing him inside. More fight than anyone in the game. - Ash Marshall (@AMarshallSport) Good game! , well played inspite of the injury! I am sure you will come back with a bang for next tournament - Shweta Vakade (@crazy_satangirl) Seems like Roger is heading for grand slam number 20, Rafa nadal crashes our after retirement and this comes a day after djokovic retired- Sahil Mohan Gupta (@DigitallyBones) Cilic hit 83 winners to 39. He didn't win simply because Rafa was injured, he played a great match with the injury hampering Rafa at the end. Cilic was drilling it by that stage. - Nate Beee (@En_Beee) Marin finds himself where he is not because Rafa got injured, but because he thought fighting was an option despite a set and a break down.
Give the man his due.- Mikhail (@FedexMahindra18) No sports person celebrate a unearned victory over an injured opponent who retires.Cilic will meet a fit Rafa Nadal somewhere down the track. Hats off to Rafa for trying to finish the match for the paying fans
Vamos Rafa!- Ralph DangFang (@rdangfang) Rafael Nadal retires for only the second time in 264 grand slam matches. Only previous retirement was vs Andy Murray in quarter-finals of 2010 Australian Open - Stuart Fraser (@stu_fraser) Sadly, most of the comments I'm reading suggest this only happened because Nadal got/is injured.
Why don't you give Cilic some credit? No way Nadal would have had to retire if Cilic didn't fight for four sets and win two of them.- Gaspar Ribeiro Lança (@gasparlanca) This is so painful to watch. Fair play to Rafa for soldiering on. What a man. - Vinayakk (@vinayakkm) Unfortunate scenes here with the world No.1 Rafael retiring hurt in the QF progresses through to the SF. - #AusOpen (@AustralianOpen) Unfortunate scenes here with the world No.1 Rafael retiring hurt in the QF progresses through to the SF. - #AusOpen (@AustralianOpen) The team is telling Rafa to retire... yet he's trying not to, as he hates to retire in matches - Genny SS (@genny_ss) Nadal not sure yet specifically what his injury is. "This type of injury is difficult to know immediately."
Says he's planning to have an MRI tomorrow. - Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) Nadal: "I can't say how bad it is. It happened just minutes ago, it's difficult to say with this injuries. I'm very sorry, I can't remember now, I started to feel the muscle tired in the third, then one drop shot in the fourth, something happened"- Ubitennis (@Ubitennis) Nadal
