- Nadal said he had suffered an abdominal tear against Fritz
- Withdrawal means Kyrgios will play in his first grand slam final
Rafael Nadal has been forced to pull out of his scheduled semi-final against Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon due to the abdominal injury suffered in his previous match against Taylor Fritz.
Nadal, who won the first two grand slams of the year, somehow came through a five-set match against the American on Wednesday despite both his sister and father indicating he should retire due to the injury.
