Led 7–5, 2–1 by the lucky Italian loser Francesco Passaro (104e world), Grigor Dimitrov was forced to withdraw due to hip pain, which had already forced him to throw in the towel in the semi-finals in Brisbane on January 4.
It's a hard blow for the 10e world player, eliminated in the third round by Nuno Borges in Melbourne last season.
As a reminder, the 33-year-old Bulgarian was in Novak Djokovic's part of the table, whom he could have found in the round of 16.
