Rafael Nadal says his back injury is ‘not under control’ despite pushing his way into the 3rd round of the Australian Open. He has described his pain at every one of his press conferences. Rafael Nadal cruises past Laslo Djere despite back injury with a very fan in the crowd giving him the middle finger and yelling at him to go faster on his serve.
