Defending champion Rafael Nadal has been eliminated from the Australian Open after he suffered a second-round defeat at the Australian Open to Mackenzie McDonald.
Nadal clearly struggled after hurting his hip late in the second set. He was trailing by a set and a break when he pulled up with the injury.
This is Nadal’s earliest elimination at the Australian Open since 2016. He had a great outing last year as he came back from two sets down to defeat Daniil Medvedev during the final last year.
After the defeat, Nadal rose to a standing ovation from the crowd and he turned to wave to every corner before leaving the stadium.
