- Nadal recovering from abdominal strain that ended title hopes
- Australian will contest maiden grand slam final on Sunday
Nick Kyrgios has wished Rafa Nadal well in his recovery from the injury that forced the Spaniard out of the Wimbledon semi-final and gifted the Australian a place in his first grand slam final.
Kyrgios was gifted a walkover into Sunday’s final against either Novak Djokovic of Cam Norrie when Nadal, who played through an abdominal tear sustained during his quarter-final win against Taylor Fritz, admitted defeat and pulled out on Thursday.
