I need to be at 100% to keep having chances and that’s what I am going to try to do.” His next assignment in London is a semi-final with Nick Kyrgios, after the Australian was a 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(5) winner in his quarter-final matchup against Cristian Garin.

Nadal moves on to the semifinals where he'll face Nick Kyrgios.

On a date 14 years after his renowned final with Roger Federer here, a date he said he never imagined seeing way back then at age 22, he played his first deciding 10-point super-tiebreaker, designated for fifth sets nowadays. He played it beautifully, snaring a quick 5-0 lead as all his experience kicked in against a player in his first Grand Slam quarterfinal. But he found his way through an opponent whose big year has brought him a world ranking of No. 14, if an opponent who was fantastic but not quite airtight enough.

Nadal struggled with an apparent abdominal injury in his quarterfinal match against Fritz, a rising American star who pushed Nadal to five sets.

He has been wearing a patch on his lower abdomen during the tournament that appeared to be an anti-inflammatory patch. Nadal played with what turned out to be a stress fracture in one of his ribs, which limited his ability to serve and strike his groundstrokes at full force. But as the match extended past four hours, he regained control and finished off the victory with a classic forehand winner from inside the baseline, complete with his bolo-whip finish behind his left ear. “I hope to be ready to play it; that’s the first thing,” Nadal said in his on-court interview. “For a lot of moments, I was thinking maybe I will not be able to finish the match,” he said, speaking to the Centre Court crowd. But for all his power and hustle, he could not hold his two-set-to-one lead and quickly lost command of the decisive tiebreaker, falling behind, 0-5, as Nadal summoned the shotmaking that has made him a 22-time Grand Slam singles champion.

"No haría un show de esto". El español es pura incógnita de cara al choque con Nick Kyrgios.

Pese a los problemas físicos en el saque, Nadal afirmó que no tiene ninguna molestia cuando pelotea y que durante los primeros juegos, cuando no tenía el dolor, estaba jugando a su mejor nivel en el torneo. La realidad es que estamos en semifinales de un Grand Slam con un problema. He sabido adaptarme a las circunstancias que me ha presentado mi cuerpo". Sé el dolor que he pasado y hacia el final del partido estaba un pelín mejor porque he encontrado una manera de sacar que me molestaba menos. He jugado a mi mejor nivel desde hace mucho tiempo y a partir del 3-1 he notado algo que iba mal. No sé lo que tengo exactamente, es evidente que algo no está bien, pero tengo que seguir haciendo pruebas para determinar hasta qué punto", explicó Nadal.

Only Rafa Nadal, I think, can stay on the court and manage this type of situation because he is used to suffering so many of these types of injuries throughout his career." I am assuming he is not going to hit any tennis balls tomorrow and he’s going to take it very easy and recover. You could see Rafa was struggling with his abdominals, he probably played better when he was returning because he was using his hands more and hitting the ball a little harder. He added: "This is unreal, this is epic. He battled on valiantly and managed to overcome the American in a final-set thriller.
