Rafael Nadal practiced through his abdominal injury on Thursday ahead of his Wimbledon semifinals match against Nick Kyrgios.
According to multiple reports including BBC Sport, the legendary tennis player has a seven millimeter tear in his abdominals that was discovered during a scan earlier Thursday. Spanish newspaper Marca also reported the news. However, Nadal reportedly still intends to play in Friday’s semifinal.
