Nadal bids farewell to the Australian Open early

Spanish star Rafael Nadal left the Australian Open tennis tournament today, Wednesday, after losing in the second round to American Mackenzie McDonald.

Rafael Nadal, 36, lost to McDonald, 27, 4-6, 4-6, 5-7.

It seems that Nadal was affected by the pain he suffered in the thigh, which caused him to achieve his worst result in the major tournaments since his exit in the first round of the Australian Open in 2016.
