An injured Rafael Nadal somehow managed to continue his quest to secure a historic Calendar Slam in 2022 after he roared back to beat Taylor Fritz in a marathon quarter-final. It took all of Nadal's famous mental strength and physical resilience to come through the encounter with a scoreline of 3-6 7-5 3-6 7-5 7-6 to reach the semi-finals, where he will face Nick Kyrgios in what should be a fascinating match-up. Ad/> Having lost the first set on Wednesday afternoon, Nadal suffered an abdominal strain that left him in real pain midway through the second set and though the Spaniard said he had considered retiring, he managed to pull through despite the pain.
