London-Sana
Spaniard Rafael Nadal has decided to withdraw from Wimbledon due to an abdominal injury, after his victory over American Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals.
Nadal was expected to face his Australian counterpart Nick Kyrgios tomorrow in the semi-finals, but injury prevented him from that, so he decided to withdraw.
Nadal conducted more tests on Thursday and decided not to risk not causing an aggravation of the injury, thus giving Kyrgios the opportunity to reach the first final of his professional career in the Grand Slam tournaments.
"I spent the whole day thinking about what to do, but it will not help to continue, the injury is getting from bad to worse," Nadal said in his press conference today.
