I don't know how match you guys were watching, but it was clear he was gimpy. Every time he was running forward he was obviously gingerly. Rafa wasn't even trying to stay in the match on the third set. He was clearly hurt. I've watched him for years, and I've never seen him move like that.
What about Wimbledon last year? Or FO in 2008? Or AO in 2010 and 2011? Was he more or less injured today than those other losses which were also blamed on injury?
ETA: Meant to reply to austingator, not barry.

I didn't see the match, but tennis.com had an article up earlier saying that Nadal didn't look gimpy until the third set. That being said, before the match even started, there was an article up about Nadal's prematch practice with anothe Spaniard and the article was talking about how good Nadal looked and how the author seemed a little suprised how hard of a prematch workout Nadal went through.
If Nadal was truly injured, then it seems like he must have tweeked something during the match, but it doesn't appear he was truly injured coming into the match.

You mean French Open 2009? I think that was a combination of not being mentally in the game (because of his parents divorce) and just running into a guy (Soderling) who played the match of his life.
He took seven months off after Wimby last year so clearly there was something wrong.
Aussie 2010 he retired in a match against Murray. I actually don't remember that match, but he retired so clearly he was hurt.
Aussie 2011 was where he lost to Ferrer. He hurt himself early in the match and should have retired. He couldn't even run and was just limping around the court. I have no idea why he didn't retire.
