Rafael Nadal has announced his retirement from Wimbledon .
The Spaniard will not play the semifinal against Nick Kyrgios due to an injury to his abdominal muscles. "I have thought about it a lot - he said at a press conference - but it makes no sense to play. I think I cannot continue playing with this pain."
Yesterday the Majorcan champion began to feel pain shortly after the start of the quarter-final match, despite this after a fight of over 4 hours he managed to prevail at the fifth tie break against the American Taylor Fritz . An extraordinary feat, questioned by some like Fabio Fognini himself who hypothesized a fake injury to Nadal.
At this point the Australian Kyrgios is already in the final , where he awaits the winner of the other semifinal that will be played on Friday between Novak Djokovic and home favorite Cameron Norrie .
In the women's first historic Grand Slam final for a player from the African continent, the Tunisian Ons Jabeur . He will challenge - ironically in the tournament that excluded Russians and Belarusians - Elena Rybakina , a Kazakh born in Moscow.
