real shame for alex, i dont know for sure but i believe it was just extreme stiffness, i don't think it was a spasm like he suffered previously, and hopefully Alex made the sensible decision to withdraw to prevent anything too severe happening. He's going to have a few weeks off at least to recover now, but i think these past 5 weeks will have shown to everyone (including himself) that he still has something to offer the world or professional tennis.
