Rafael Nadal

Spanish tennis icon Rafael Nadal has announced that the hip injury he suffered last month at the Australian Open is once again plaguing him, thus forcing him to withdraw from the Mexican Open in Acapulco. "Yesterday, during the last training session, once again I felt a sharp pain in the same spot ... It's similar to the one in Australia, but less severe," Nadal, ranked No.2 in the world by the ATP, said at a press conference on Tuesday, reports Efe.
