Rafael Nadal retired injured from his Australian Open quarter-final against Marin Cilic
In that match I lifted my game a lot and my energy was really good on the court.
And just like that, it was over.
He was down 2-0 in the set at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. And he was making his run in a tournament that's featured huge upsets in both the men's and women's field.
Nadal will undergo scans on Wednesday to determine the exact nature and severity of the injury.
Nadal has retired just twice in 264 grand slam matches.
"As the match went further on, I was hitting more winners, playing better and better".
"Even in these other matches before this one, I played great tennis".
It's been a week in which Nadal has had several complaints.
Roger Federer has welcomed the infusion of fresh new faces at the Australian Open, saying it's good regeneration for tennis.
Federer's selflessness was hailed by former star James Blake, who said the Swiss maestro was the only player who wrote to him when he suffered a serious injury in 2004.
Roger Federer vs Marin Cilic, Australian Open 2018 final preview

I know staff and players and we finished third and that was the target. "We have to hope to have all our players available". I go to the living and start to work for the game to try to find a new solution.
Victory over Edmund allowed the Croatian Cilic to become the first finalist in the history of the Australian Open.
But Cilic just had too much and won the breaker 7-4 to establish a two-set lead that Edmund could not recover from.
Nadal called for the trainer for the first time down 1-4 in the fourth set and received treatment high on his right leg by the side of the court.
After Cilic broke his serve, the 31-year-old Spaniard went to shake hands with the umpire and his opponent, and angrily hurled his headband into his equipment bag. It stunned almost everyone in the arena, most of whom probably never saw the gesture. Diego Schwartzman, 15-year-old Marta Kostyuk, Hsieh Su-Wei are some players who made their mark in the tournament. He's an unbelievable competitor and always give his best.
Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov falls during his quarterfinal against Britain's Kyle Edmund at the Australian Open tennis championships in Melbourne, Australia, Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2018.
With Edmund in semis, and one out of Chung and Sandgren sure to reach semis, Australian Open is the second straight major with two first timers in Men's slam semis. With Chung, I played him few times, and looking at his game, I think he has improved a lot in the last six to 12 months.
As for Nadal, who knows what's next.
Later, in the interview room, Nadal couldn't really pinpoint what happened to this body.
"But [it] happened. That's it", Nadal said.
