Rafael Nadal, for the eighth time in his career, reached the semifinals at Wimbledon. This time he did it against Taylor Fritz after five hard-fought sets, with the Majorcan with such a physical problem in his abs from the first set that his corner even advised him to retire: "It was a very emotional match, an important victory. They told me I had to retire, but I tried," Nadal told a news conference, "it would have been difficult for me to retire in the middle of the match. It was not easy, although I had this idea for a long time. On the other hand, I have already made the decision not to retire, but to continue a couple of times during my tennis career." On the injury he suffered. "Tomorrow I will do more tests, but it's hard to say. I'm not the typical player who has had almost no injuries in his career. I'm used to dealing with pain and playing with problems. When I feel something like that, it's because there's something wrong with my abdominal muscles. It is not so clear that it is something new. I have had this feeling for a couple of days. The pain and restriction have increased considerably. In the end I won the match, we'll see what happens tomorrow." About the victory against Fritz. "I won because I played well from baseline. Of course I didn't win because of my serve. I was able to improve and adapt to the conditions my body presented to remain competitive. I knew how to improve my tennis according to the needs. That is something that satisfies me.
