KINUMPIRMA ni Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal Linggo na umurong siya sa 2024 Australian Open,ang first Grand Slam of the year, dahil sa minor muscle injury.
“Hi all. During my last match in Brisbane, I had a small problem on a muscle that as you know, made me worried. Once I got to Melbourne, I have had the chance to make an MRI and I have a micro tear on a muscle, not in the same part where I had the injury and that’s good news,”Wika ni Nadal sa on X.
“Right now, I am not ready to compete at the maximum level of excellence in 5 set matches. I’m flying back to Spain to see my doctor, get some treatment and rest.”
Sinabi ng 37-year-old Grand Slam champion sa on X na malungkot siya”na hindi makapaglaro sa harap ng kahanga-hanga na Melbourne crowds,” at pinasalamatan ang kanyang fans sa kanilang suporta.
Ang 2024 Australian Open ay magsisimula sa Enero 14.
