A 7mm abdominal tear restricted Rafael Nadal from clinching his 3rd Grand Slam title of the year. Looking in good shape, the Spanish bull was cruising over his opponents at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club before finally announcing a withdrawal before his semifinal clash against Nick Kyrgios.

Recovering from the injury, the Spaniard is expected to make a comeback at the ATP Rogers Cup next month. However, before his return to the tour, Nadal seems to be re-practicing the feeling of being in the winner’s spot. Recently, Nadal and his team took part in a golf tournament in Palma. Showing off their skills, the Spaniard and his team showed no mercy as they took the top spot in various segments of the tournament.
