Defending Australian Open men's champion and No. 1 seed Rafael Nadal injured his left hip and lost to Mackenzie McDonald 4-6, 4-6, 5-7 in the second round on Wednesday, abruptly ending his bid for a record-extending 23rd Grand Slam trophy.
After the shocking loss, Nadal said 'I can't say that I am not destroyed mentally at this moment, because I would be lying.'
He pulled up awkwardly at the end of a point late in the second set against the 65th-ranked McDonald.
