Rafael Nadal to have scan before Wimbledon semi-final

The abdominal injury that almost forced Nadal to retire from his last-eight match at Wimbledon will be scanned before he plays in the semifinals.

The Spaniard, who faces Nick Kyrgios on Friday, said he ignored calls from his father and sister to stop fighting.

Even though he didn't know how, Nadal came from behind to win in five sets.

Retiring is something that I don't like to do.

I just keep trying.

During his previous match, he had a bandage on his abdomen, but he said the pain got worse during Wednesday's win.

Today is nothing new. I had some feelings for a while. He said that it was the worst day of the year.

There has been an increase of limitations. I will have more tests tomorrow.

During his career, Nadal has won a men's record 22 Grand Slam singles titles.

He won his 14th French Open title without feeling his left foot, which was anesthetised due to a chronic condition.

He's already won the Australian and French Open titles this year, so he won't endanger his health if he plays the other on Friday.

He said that health is more important than Wimbledon.

The doctor gave him anti-inflammatories and painkillers as he went off the court during the second set of the match.

He said it was hard. When you have a thing like this, nothing can be fixed. This is it.

I wanted to see if I could do something. It's hard to leave the tournament. It wasn't easy to leave Wimbledon.

Nadal did not know what his chances were of playing. I can't give you a clear answer because I will be a liar if I give you one.
