Nadal showed his true toughness on Wednesday during his five-set victory over Taylor Fritz where he was down 2-1 in sets and was noticeably in pain. He played through the abdominal injury to snatch the victory in a fifth-set tiebreaker but will not be able to play against Nick Kyrgios in the semifinals.
