Wimbledon was shaken by a small shock on Thursday when world No.5 Rafael Nadal pulled out of his semi-final against Nick Kyrgios at the end of training. The injured Mallorcan in his abdominal belt is unable to continue the tournament. "I have an abdominal tear. The decision to take was discussed throughout the day, but it doesn't make sense for me to continue my career," said the Spaniard at a press conference.
He said, "If I continue to play, the injury is going to get worse." "I made this decision because it was impossible to win two more games. He said that he didn't want to be competitive and aggravate his injury. He believes he won't be fully healed for three to four weeks, which shouldn't change his plans to play in tournaments.
In the quarter-finals, the player with 22 Grand Slam titles was already close to giving up. The Spaniard is now out of Grand Slam tournaments for the fifth time. He had dropped out during matches at the Australian Open and US Open in 2010, 2018, and 2018 and was also out of the US Open in 2018.
