Even though I dislike Rafroid, still don't like to see this.

PARIS (Reuters) - Nine-times French Open champion Rafael Nadal unexpectedly pulled out of the French Open on Friday because of a left wrist injury.

"I have a problem with my wrist... yesterday I played with an injection, I could play but yesterday night I started to feel more and more pain," the Spanish left-hander told reporters in a hurriedly arranged news conference at Roland Garros.

"Today I felt I could not move my wrist," added the dejected Spaniard, who showed no signs of the injury during his 6-3 6-0 6-3 second round win over Facundo Bagnis on Thursday.

This is the latest setback the 29-year-old Spaniard has suffered in an injury-plagued career.

Dick-o-vic clearly has an easier path now, but I still don't think (and hope) he's a slam dunk

He's such a sexist twit, I don't care, although Ernst isn't much better...if at all.

not the greatest hopes but really don't want to see Dick (I'm just shortening it to that now) win again.
