Marca reveals that the Majorcan champion underwent medical examinations this morning after pain in the abdominal area felt in the middle of the first set in the quarter-final match against Taylor Fritz. Today Nadal, who hasn’t trained for the serve for a week and who yesterday beat far below his possibilities, just to preserve the abdominal area, will test himself together with Marc López on the fields of Aorangi Park where the public cannot log into. It is not the first time that the Spaniard has to play in these conditions. In the 2009 US Open he had a two centimeter tear but still played the semifinal with Juan Martín Del Potro.
