Nadal gets to the second round and survives a big injury scare to his knee – 2012 Australian Open

Oh No…!!!! That came across Rafael Nadal yesterday when he was struggling with his knee.

‘Yesterday afternoon the most strange thing happened to me,’ he said. ‘I stood up and felt the knee a little bit strangely.

‘I moved the leg two times to try to find some feeling. After the second time there was unbelievable pain.

‘I really couldn’t move the knee … I had no movement on the knee.’

‘After the first 10 games … I started to play normally,’ said the Spaniard. ‘I really don’t understand what happened yesterday but I am really happy that today I was ready to play and I played a fantastic match.’

Finally the Spaniard could play to breeze past Kuznetsov 6-4 6-1 6-1, but will the kneew hold for the whole tournament? We hope so!
