Rafael Nadal qualified for the semifinal of the Wimbledon tournament, the eighth in his career, beating the American Taylor Fritz in the fifth set, with a score of 3-6, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5, 7- 6.
The Spaniard will now face Australian Nick Kyrgios, who got the better of Chilean Garin.
The 36-year-old # 4 in the world who stopped for a physical problem in the second set, resorting to medical time out and causing fear of his retirement from the match was a feat.
But Nadal did not give up, first recovering one set of disadvantage and winning 10-4 at the tie break of the fifth set, after four hours and 20 'of play.
