When Corretja arrived in Australia, the injury was already giving him a hard time, but it was aggravated when a shot by training-partner Juan Luis Rascon forced him into a sudden move to avoid being hit by the ball.
Corretja explained that this unfortunate episode increased the pain once again whereas things should have been alright without this incident.
He has received medical treatment in order to recover as soon as possible, even though he is not supposed to play on Friday (he is scheduled to team up with Feliciano Lopez for Saturday's doubles).
Apart from Corretja's troubles, Spain's training went according to plan as the players are getting used to the fast Australian grass courts.
