Even his semi-final rival, Australian Nick Kirius, could not remain indifferent to the news, and although he secured his place in the final, he shared on his Instagram account his feelings: "Different players, different personalities… Rafa, I hope your recovery is fast. We all look forward to seeing you healthy soon Very. Until next time. "

Italian tennis player Fabio Ponini, who underestimated Nadal's injury and said this week: "Play four and a half hours with abdominal muscle pain? Yes, obviously. Do not believe what is written", folded from his reaction after the Spaniard's retirement and said: "I want to inform all journalists "Like Nadal, and I will not allow myself, it's time for you to stop manipulating, I wish healing and his team success."

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
