Athletistic / Tennis. Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal admitted to having problems during the 1/4 finals of the ATP-250 tournament in Brisbane (Australia). The Spaniard lost in the quarterfinals to Australian Jordan Thompson with a score of 7:5, 6:7 (6:8), 3:6.

At the same time, Rafa missed three match points. In the third set, Nadal called the doctor because of pain in his left thigh.

“The pain was in the same place as last year. But these are different stories. Today I was more worried about the muscle, then the tendon. Now I felt muscle fatigue.

Of course, it wasn’t like last year. Then I immediately felt that something serious was happening. Today there was nothing like that. After a year without tennis, a lot of things can happen to your body. I hope it was just overwork,” Nadal said at a press conference.
