Recall that Nadal suffered a tear in his abdominal muscles, due to which the Spaniard was forced to stop playing in the tournament.
“Injury is the main enemy of any athlete. Thanks to Rafa for being able to end the quarter-final match playing with such an injury. He knows his body and his abilities better than anyone, so he himself determines whether he should play or not. It’s a pity that there was no second semi-final in such a tournament, but nothing can be done,” Djokovic said.
Nadal was to play from the semi-finals with Nick Kyrgios. The Australian went to the final on the Spaniard’s refusal and lost there to Djokovic.
