The Balearics will definitely not play the semi-final of the British Grand Slam that he had to measure against Nick Kyrgios on Friday due to a fibrillar microtear in the abdomen
Rafa Nadal will not play the Wimbledon semi-final against Australian Nick Kyrgios on Friday due to the seven millimeter fibrillar micro-crack that occurred in his match against American Taylor Fritz, whom he even defeated in five sets in precarious physical conditions.
This was announced by the Balearic tennis player at a press conference held this afternoon, after measuring his sensations during a gentle workout that eventually confirmed the bad omens.
“I made the decision because I don’t think I can win games this way. It’s not just that I can’t serve at the right speed, it’s also that I can’t do the normal movement to serve. Out of respect For myself, I don’t want to leave the house without being able to play in two of these matches at the level I need,” explained the two-time champion on the London grass, with a face of the circumstances.
“The most important thing for me is happiness, the effort I put in to be here. I can’t take any more risk and stay two or three months to be off the job. It’s my decision, I have to live with it and I can’t say anything else. I’m very sad,” he appreciated then, before acknowledging his grief that he had to quit at a moment when he saw himself with “options” to win Wimbledon a third time, given his thrills of the game.
“I’ve been dragging this around for a few days, what’s happening is it increased a lot yesterday. At the 3-1 I notice pain but you always hope it gets resolved. Already with 4-3 I feel eyelashes with the control and there you see that it is not going well. Then a thousand things go through your head,” Nadal says of the moment when he became aware of a physical problem that eventually separated him from the third Grand Slam of the season.
