World number four and two-time champion Rafael Nadal made his way past American Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinal match to book a spot in the semifinal of Wimbledon 2022. In the monumental quarterfinal clash between Nadal and Fritz, which lasted for 4 hours and 21 minutes, the Spaniard defeated the American by a scoreline that read 3-6 7-5 3-6 7-5 7-6.

What made Nadal's win over Fritz stellar was that the 22-time Grand Slam champion battled severe abdominal muscle injury all through the game.

Nadal who is not new to playing through pain is poised to face Australian Nick Kyrgios in the semifinal on July 8, but reports suggest that the 36-year-old may be ruled out due to injury.

Kyrgios had a relatively easy outing in his quarterfinal match as he eased past Chiles's Cristian Garin 6-4 6-3 7-6 in straight sets.

With the Australian Open and the French Open already under his belt this year, Nadal could be featuring in his third Grand Slam semi-final for 2022, a stark contrast to Kyrgios who will be making his first Grand Slam appearance.
