Rafael Nadal of Spain plays a forehand in his quarterfinal match against Andy Murray of Great Britain during day nine of the 2010 Australian Open

Melbourne: Australian Open Tennis 2010: Australian Open results, Nadal Murray australian open, Nadal quits. Defending champion Rafael Nadal was eased out of the Australian Open championship. It was not any of his opponent who ousted him, but his ankle injury that forced him to withdraw the match.

Ever since the match started, Nadal was looking in pain. This allowed his quarterfinal opponent Andy Murray to take full advantage of it and took early lead in the game.


In the middle of the game, the pain became so much severe that Spaniard Rafael Nadal had no option but to withdraw from the game, thus handing the quarterfinal match to Murray on a platter.

Nadal had won the Australian Open last year and was not just defending the title, but people were sure that he will win the tournament.

So far he was very impressive and did not allow his opponents any chance to defeat him.

Twenty three year old ace tennis player Rafael Nadal is a former World No. 1 Spanish professional tennis player currently ranked No. 2 in the world.

The Spaniard has won six Grand Slam singles titles, the 2008 Olympic gold medal in singles, 15 ATP Masters Series tournaments and also was part of the Spain Davis Cup team that won the finals in 2004 and 2009.

When the match was called off Murry was ahead in the game. He was leading Nadal 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 3-0 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.

Andy Murray is a Scottish professional tennis player. He is ranked World No. 4, having previously held the No. 2 ranking position for two weeks, from August 17, 2009 to August 31, 2009, during which time he failed to progress beyond the fourth round of the 2009 U.S. Open and fell back to No. 3, which makes him the highest-ranked British player since Fred Perry
