27th seed hit by foot injury in 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 loss at Melbourne ParkAjla Tomljanović and Aleksandar Vukic in action on day four
Australia is left with just a single seed in the men’s draw at Melbourne Park after Jordan Thompson limped out of the tournament on Wednesday, losing his second round clash on John Cain Arena to world No 33 Nuno Borges.
The Portuguese was impressive in a 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win under cloudy skies, but his victory was aided by a foot injury to Thompson which increasingly hampered him during the third set. By the end, the Sydneysider could barely walk, but said he was outplayed from the start.
