Pablo Carreno Busta's run at the Australian Open has been cut short by a suspected abdominal injury after the Spaniard retired from his third round match against Grigor Dimitrov.<\/p>\n

The 15th seed's range of motion was extremely limited as he battled through the first set going down 6-0. Dimitrov was aggressive from the outset and the ailing Spaniard struggled to keep up racking up 20 unforced errors.<\/p>\n

Following a medical timeout in between sets, Carreno Busta took to the court to soldier on but was quickly broken by Dimitrov before retiring from the match after 38 minutes, going down 6-0, 1-0.<\/p>\n

"Clearly it's very unfortunate for him," Dimitrov said in his on-court interview.<\/p>\n

"But I also want to give myself a little bit of the credit because I stayed in the match.<\/p>\n

"I stayed focused. The first sets of tournaments like [this) are so important, so I also wanted to save a lot of energy."<\/p>\n

Dimitrov confirmed in his post-match press conference that he was oblivious to his rival's injury concerns prior to the match.<\/p>\n

The Bulgarian is yet to drop a set at the Australian Open after disposing of former US Open champion Marin Cilic and Australian Alex Bolt.<\/p>\n
