Rafa Nadal has confirmed that he is indeed withdrawing from Wimbledon 2022. This is absolutely gut-wrenching. Nadal said: “Unfortunately I’m here because I have to withdraw from the tournament, everyone saw yesterday that I suffered with abdominal pain. “I know something wasn’t right there, that’s confirmed. I have a torn abdominal muscle. “Communication took too long, all day I was thinking about the decision to make “I think it is, yes, there is no point in leaving. Even if I did many times in my career to continue, difficult conditions, it is obvious if I continue, the injury will be worse and worse. I feel very sad to say this. “I don’t think I can win two races under these conditions. I can’t serve. “It’s not just that I can’t serve at the right speed, I can’t make the normal move to serve. “I don’t want to go out there and not be competitive to be at that level to play to achieve my goal with a big chance of making things a lot worse.”
