   Rafael Nadal. Rafael Nadal remains on course to return to action in March after undergoing further tests on the hip flexor injury he sustained on his way out of the Australian Open. The 22-time major winner failed to defend his crown in Melbourne after losing 6-4 6-4 7-5 to world number 65 Mackenzie McDonald last week. Nadal struggled to move around the court in the closing stages of the match and revealed afterwards he had aggravated an issue he had been suffering with for a couple of days. An MRI scan showed the Spaniard had a grade two illiopsoas tear in his hip flexor, which would usually mean between six and eight weeks out of action. After returning home to undergo further checks on Thursday, Nadal confirmed he is on course to return in that initial timeframe. "Today I have been at the Tecknon Tennis Clinic in Barcelona where they have carried out some tests on me," he posted on his personal Twitter page.

A strong start from both players on a rain-delayed day one raised the possibility of an intriguing pairing over the weekend. And the chances of that happening were increased with...
