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?
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.

FO 2009, you are correct.
And I am not claiming he wasn't injured in any of those matches. I just found austingator's assertion that "He was clearly hurt. I've watched him for years, and I've never seen him move like that" to be funny because in a number of his other slam losses, injuries have been asserted as the primary cause. So was this really the worst?
If he's hurt, then fine. It happens. I just get tired of certain of his fans claiming that he is essentially 164-0 in slams when healthy and 0-22 when injured. Sometimes, the guy just gets outplayed. That's what I saw today.

Aussie 2010 was the time he had an abdominal muscle injury. He could not serve. (if I remember correctly).
Rafa is a big boy. He was signing autographs after the match, and being a class act during his post match interview. I think he has a better perspective on his tennis career than his fans, and his haters. It was not in his best interest to fight on today.
Hopefully he can have a few more years carefully selecting his tournaments. He has won Wimbledon twice already.
