- Nadal suffered an abdominal tear in quarter-final with 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 because of the abdominal injury suffered in his quarter-final against Taylor Fritz.
Nadal, who won the first two 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 because of the injury.
