Rafael Nadal withdrew from Wimbledon on Thursday on the eve of his semifinal match against Nick Kyrgios. The 22-time Grand Slam champion pulled out because of a seven-millimeter abdominal tear. He clearly suffered during his five-set tiebreak win over Taylor Fritz and said after his win he hoped he would be ready to play Friday. Nadal, 36, informed Wimbledon officials after a 45-minute practice that he would not be fit to compete. "It makes me very sad to say that. I made my decision because I believe I can't win two matches. It's not only that I can't serve at the right speed, it's that I can't do normal movement to serve," Nadal said. Kyrgios, who had advanced to his first career Grand Slam semifinal, will now be set to play in his first Grand Slam final against the winerr of Friday's other semifinal, between Novak Djokovic and Cameron Norrie. #Wimbledon #tennis #nadal #rafaelnadal
