    "editor1": "Australian Jordan Thompson: The 22-time Grand Slam champion, Rafael Nadal will miss the Australian Open this month after suffering a small muscle tear during the Brisbane International last week, the Spaniard announced on Sunday.<p>Nadal took to social media to announce that he is not fit enough to compete at the season first Grand Slam and is flying back to home for treatment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"During my last match in Brisbane I had a small problem on a muscle that as you know made me worried. Once I got to Melbourne I have had the chance to make an MRI and I have micro tear on a muscle, not in the same part where I had the injury and that\u2019s good news,\" Nadal said in statement on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Right now I am not ready to compete at the maximum level of exigence in 5 sets matches. I\u2019m flying back to Spain to see my doctor, get some treatment and rest,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nadal marked his much-anticipated return in Brisbane after nearly a year on the sidelines due to hip flexor injury he suffered at the Australian Open in January last year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 37-year-old had impressed on his return in Brisbane while disposing of Dominic Thiem and Jason Kubler to reach the quarter-finals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, his promising comeback was cut short in a challenging three-and-a-half-hour quarter-final defeat against Australian Jordan Thompson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the Friday night match, he struggled with a leg issue, contributing to his setback.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
