Rafael Nadal injured his left thigh muscle during the match he lost at the Australian Open. He may need between 6 to 8 weeks for a complete recovery, according to his coach on Thursday. The 22-time Grand Slam champion underwent an MRI at a hospital in Melbourne under the supervision of his doctor on Thursday, one day after his injury during his loss to Mackenzie McDonald in the second round of the tournament at Melbourne Park. Nadal, the defending champion and top seed in Australia, will now return to Spain to rest. He has lost 7 of his last 9 matches, with his most recent defeat coming in the fourth round of the US Open last September.
