Nadal knee Injury scare deepens. Could keep him out much longer.

Rafael Nadal had to retire midway through the quarter finals against Murray but he had appeared upbeat about his recovery. He had said, "I am not worried, I just have a little tweak and I hope to have recovered in a week or even less,".

Recent update from Nadal camp suggests that Rafa is going to come out with an official statement later in the day. The whole business of making an official release about his injury suggests that it could be much worse that initially suspected. It might keep him out for far longer than the one week he had initially thought.

Will update as soon as the statement is out but if it turns out to be much severe it would be a huge loss to the tour. He could be out long enough to even miss French which possibly would make Roger Federer a top contender in Paris. Could it be all 4 for Roger this year. We will wait and see ...

Make sure to catch the Aussie Open finals between Roger and Murray this sunday.
