Rafael Nadal's 2024 Australian Open Hopes Dashed by Hip Injury Setback

Tennis star Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the 2024 Australian Open due to a micro-tear in his left hip, an injury revealed by an MRI after a recent match in Brisbane. This setback follows a year-long absence from the sport while recovering from a hip flexor injury. With a current world ranking of No. 672, Nadal's withdrawal comes as a significant blow to the tournament, especially in the wake of retirements from other tennis legends like Roger Federer and Serena Williams. Nadal's focus will now shift to recovery in hopes of returning for the clay-court season, where he has historically excelled, particularly at the French Open.
