Ferrer Ends Nadal's Grand Slam Bid: World number one Rafael Nadal was dumped from the Australian Open quarter-finals 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 by fellow Spaniard David Ferrer Wednesday, ending Nadal's bid to hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time. Ferrer has beaten Nadal four times in 15 encounters.

The most telling quote of the day after this game was from Nadal: "I can say nothing about the injury. Seriously, I would would prefer not to talk about it. For respect to the winner and a friend I'd prefer to talk about the match."

Class act, even in defeat.

A grand slam without Federer or Nadal. No Williams sister either.
