Rafael Nadal not seriously injured, will play
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Rafael Nadal says he is not seriously injured and will play Wednesday in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
Nadal, a two-time champion at the All England Club, hurt his left foot in the first set of Monday's win over Juan Martin del Potro. He twice called for a trainer during the set, but still managed to win 7-6 (6), 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4.
After the match, he went to a London hospital for an MRI exam, but the results were negative.
He says "during the match I thought I had something serious but as the match went through the pain got better and thankfully the tests don't show an injury. Today I will practice at 4:30 p.m. and I'll play tomorrow."
