Rafael Nadal overcame an abdominal injury to beat Taylor Fritz in five sets in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday.
After four hours and 21 minutes of enduring pain to beat the American 3-6, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (10-4), Nadal is through to yet another semifinal at SW19.
A total of 1054 sixes have been struck this season so far
After losing the first set, the Spaniard took a medical timeout and doubted if he could finish the match on Center Court.
However, the 36-year-old stuck in and gave it his all, winning the marathon match in the fifth set tiebreak.
“I still believe that he can be beaten; Only, you have to go down to hell to achieve it” - Taylor Fritz said.
The defeat left Fritz feeling the worst he ever had after a loss, with the Indian Wells champion failing to dominate his physically struggling opponent.
The American, who beat the Mallorcan earlier this year to claim the Indian Wells title, believes that while legends like Nadal can be beaten, it will need monumental efforts from his opponents.
