<p>After banning Russian and Belarus players in last year's edition, Wimbledon has now decided to&nbsp;allow the&nbsp;players from the two countries to compete at the grasscourt Grand Slam as 'neutrals' in the upcoming 2023 edition&nbsp;under certain conditions. Last year, the ban was imposed on the players from the two countries following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.</p>

<p>In a statement by the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), it said, "Our current intention is to accept entries from Russian and Belarusian players subject to them competing as ‘neutral’ athletes and complying with appropriate conditions. These will prohibit expressions of support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in various forms and prohibit entry by players receiving funding from the Russian and/or Belarusian states (including sponsorship from companies operated or controlled by the states) in relation to their participation in The Championships.</p>

<p>"The conditions have been carefully developed through constructive dialogue with the UK Government, the LTA and international stakeholder bodies in tennis, and are aligned with the Government’s published guidance to sporting bodies in the UK.</p>

<p>"Three developments, taken together, have informed our current position: The option of personal player declarations was not in our view viable last year. Since then, extensive engagement with the Government and tennis stakeholder bodies has clarified and developed the form of declarations and produced workable measures for their implementation and enforcement. This approach has the full support of the Government and the LTA, ATP, WTA and ITF."</p>

<p><strong>'These are the most appropriate arrangements for The 2023 Championships'</strong></p>

<p>Ian Hewitt, Chairman of the All England Club, also reacted on the announcement and said, "We continue to condemn totally Russia’s illegal invasion and our wholehearted support remains with the people of Ukraine. This was an incredibly difficult decision, not taken lightly or without a great deal of consideration for those who will be impacted."</p>

<p>"It is our view that, considering all factors, these are the most appropriate arrangements for The Championships for this year.

<p>It is to be noted that Wimbledon was the only Grand Slam event which had banned competitors from Russia and Belarus.

After 2022 ban, Wimbledon set to accept Russian and Belarusian players as 'neutral' athletes

<p>Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has landed in trouble once again after making an absurd comment to a fan during the Wimbledon 2022 final against Novak Djokovic earlier this year. Kyrgios is set to be sued by a lawyer, who he had accused of having '700 drinks' during the Wimbledon 2022 final. She is suing the Aussie tennis ace for defamation.</p>

<p>Kyrgios is set to be dragged into some more courtroom drama after Polish lawyer Anna Palus confirmed she is suing the tennis star. Palus was removed from the crowd after Kyrgios accused her of distracting him in the final and said she looked like she had&nbsp;downed&nbsp;'700 drinks'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Confirming legal action against Kyrgios, Palus said she is suing the tennis star to 'clear her name'. She slammed Kyrgios for making a reckless and baseless allegation which caused 'substantial damage' to her and her family as millions around the world read and watched the Aussie's comments.</p>

<p>“On Sunday 10 July 2022 I attended the final of the Wimbledon tennis championships with my mother. It was an event we had been looking forward to for some time. During the course of the final, Nick Kyrgios made a reckless and entirely baseless allegation against me," Palus said in a statement through her solicitor.</p>

<p>“Not only did this cause considerable harm on the day, resulting in my temporary removal from the arena, but Mr Kyrgios’s false allegation was broadcast to, and read by, millions around the world, causing me and my family very substantial damage and distress.</p>

<p>“I am not litigious, but after much consideration, I have concluded that I have no alternative but to instruct my solicitors Brett Wilson LLP to bring defamation proceedings against Mr Kyrgios in order to clear my name. The need to obtain vindication, and to prevent repetition of the allegation, are the only reasons for taking legal action," she added.</p>

During the third set of the final against the Serb, Kyrgios complained to the umpire claiming he was being distracted during his serve by Palus. He urged the umpire to get her kicked out before accusing her of looking drunk.</p>

<p>“She’s distracting me when I’m serving in a Wimbledon final,” he told the umpire. There’s no other bigger occasion, you didn’t believe me and then she did it again. It nearly cost me the game.</p>

<p>“Why is she still here? She’s drunk out of her mind and speaking to me in the middle of a game. What’s acceptable? Ok kick her out. I know exactly which one it is. The one in the dress, who looks like she’s had about 700 drinks bro," Kyrgios was heard telling the umpire.</p>

<p>The incident soon grabbed headlines as Kyrgios' comments went viral. Revealing her side of the story, Palus said she had only had&nbsp;a Pimm’s and a glass of rose, and was trying to support Kyrgios not distract him during the final.</p>

Serena Williams announces retirement: A look at 23 Grand Slams won by tennis great

<p>Matthew Ebden continued the rich history of Australian tennis players making their presence felt at the prestigious Wimbledon with a memorable triumph in men's doubles this year. Ebden and his partner Max Purcell defeated defending champions Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic in the final to lift the elusive trophy for the first time in their respective careers.</p>

<p>It was the maiden Grand Slam crown for the Aussie duo, making them the first All-Australian pair to win the men's doubles title at Wimbledon since 2000. It was the famous pairing of Mark Woodfire and Todd Woodbridge known as 'Woodies' which last won the Wimbledon men's doubles title from Australia 22 years back.</p>

<p>Reflecting on his memorable victory at the All England Club, 34-year-old Ebden, who started out as a singles player, said it was more than just a dream to lift the trophy. Ebden, who has tasted significant success in his career so far having won as many as six ATP Tour doubles titles with his partner Purcell, said winning Wimbledon was incredibly special.</p>

<p>"It's more than a dream. I don't know if ever even dreamed of winning Wimbledon when I was a kid. Ever since I became a professional, I saw my ability and believed how good I could be and that I could win titles," Ebden said in an exclusive interaction with WION.</p>

<p>"Have had great achievements so far in singles, in doubles, in mixed doubles, in Davis Cup, Grand Slams, Masters Series but to win Wimbledon is definitely more than a dream. I still can't believe it and to be a Wimbledon champion is incredibly special," he added.</p>

<p>It was an enthralling final between the Australians and the Croatian duo of Pavic and Mektic, who gave their all before eventually going down. Ebden and Purcell won the summit clash 7-6(5) 6-7(3) 4-6 6-4 7-6(10-2). The final was decided on a 10-point tiebreak where the Aussies upped the ante and beat the Croatian duo to finally emerge on top in the gruelling battle which lasted over 4 hours.</p>

<p>Recalling the draining final, Ebden said it was 'insane and crazy' as the game went back and forth. However, they managed to hold their nerves and came out on top to be able to stand with the trophy at the end.</p>

<p>"We talked about it last week, It's insane, it's crazy, it's epic. They tell me it's a record - nobody has ever won Wimbledon saving match points in more than one match and then gone on to win the title. So we have a record there," said the 31-year-old.</p>

<p>"Five out of the six matches were 5-7. We saved 8 match points but I only remember 6, two of them are blurred I don't even remember. We could have easily lost but we kept fighting, kept backing ourselves and kept trusting each other. We had a little bit of luck along the way which sometimes you need. Then to be standing there at the end of the tournament with the trophy, it's still hard to believe," he added.</p>

<p><strong>I used to go to Wimbledon as a kid with my parents: Ebden</strong></p>

<p>Ebden has been around in the circuit for quite a while now but winning Wimbledon is one of his biggest achievements which came at the age of 34. The Australian star, who spent a part of his childhood in South Africa, revealed he used to go to Wimbledon with his parents and had never dreamt of winning the tournament one day. Nonetheless, Ebden said he was proud to have become a part of Australia's rich legacy in the tournament.</p>

<p>"Don't think I ever dreamed of actually winning Wimbledon, I went there as a kid with my parents and I thought how amazing it will be to play in this tournament one day. Then to win Wimbledon for Australia as an Australian and to join the rich history of 100 years of Australians winning at Wimbledon, to be a tiny part of that history blows my mind.

<p>Virat Kohli continues to get support from all corners in the cricketing fraternity as his form remains a cause of concern for Team India. For the unversed, Kohli's century-drought continues since late 2019 and he ended India's just-concluded England tour without a single fifty across formats.</p>

<p>Even in IPL 2022, Kohli struggled for his 341 runs -- striking at 115.98 -- and returned with only two half-centuries. Hence, his form has kept his ardent fans worried ahead of this year's T20 World Cup. Many former cricketers have now even questioned his place, although majority have backed him. England's former captain-turned-commentator Kevin Pietersen also joined the bandwagon and backed Kohli&nbsp;to rediscover his form via a recent Instagram post.</p>

<p>Pietersen wrote: "Buddy, your career has had some of the best that have played the game only wish they could have done what you have(so far). Be proud, walk tall &amp; enjoy life. There’s way more than just the bubble of cricket out there. You’ll be back."</p>

Virat Kohli continues to get support from all corners in the cricketing fraternity as his form remains a cause of concern for Team India. For the unversed, Kohli's century-drought continues since late 2019 and he ended India's just-concluded England tour without a single fifty across formats. Even in IPL 2022, Kohli struggled for his 341 runs -- striking at 115.98 -- and returned with only two half-centuries. Hence, his form has kept his ardent fans worried ahead of this year's T20 World Cup. Many former cricketers have now even questioned his place, although majority have backed him. England's former captain-turned-commentator Kevin Pietersen also joined the bandwagon and backed Kohli to rediscover his form via a recent Instagram post. Pietersen wrote: "Buddy, your career has had some of the best that have played the game only wish they could have done what you have(so far). Be proud, walk tall & enjoy life. There’s way more than just the bubble of cricket out there. You’ll be back."

Serbian star Novak Djokovic reacts to Kevin Pietersen's Instagram post backing under-fire Virat Kohli

<p>Roger Federer hasn't played any Grand Slam since his quarter-final loss at the hands of&nbsp;Hubert Hurkacz in Wimbledon 2021 edition. Since then, many reports suggested that retirement is on the cards for the Swiss maestro.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While that hasn't happened yet, Federer hasn't played any further. The 40-year-old remains a fan favourite but many believe that retirement is on cards for the Swiss player. Since the early 2000s, Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have given plenty to cheer for the fans and while the Big Three is set to fade away sooner than later, fans and experts are still not ready to hear the retirement news of any of the trio (Nadal is battling with injury concerns whereas Federer is hardly seen on the court, although Djokovic is sure to continue for a longer period). Nonetheless, Federer has dropped a bomb and hinted at retirement during a recent chat.</p>

<p>Speaking to the Dutch newspaper, Algemeen Dagblad, Federer said,&nbsp;<em>"I am a winner lover, but if you're not competitive anymore, then it's better to stop. I don't think I need the tennis. I am happy with the little things, like when my son does something right and when my daughter comes home with a good grade.</em></p>

<p>"Tennis is part of, but not my entire identity. I want to be and remain successful, and put a lot of energy into business - probably give more than I should sometimes, but that can also be done outside of sports. I know a professional career can't last forever and that's okay," he added.</p>

One of the greatest of all time, Djokovic was the favourite against Kyrgios, who was playing his maiden Grand Slam final at Wimbledon after getting a walk-over in the semi-final against Rafael Nadal, who pulled out of the tournament due to an injury.</p>

<p>Djokovic extended his dominance on the grass court with a record-equalling seventh Wimbledon title. He has now matched the feats of American great&nbsp;Pete Sampras and William Renshaw for the second most men's singles title in the history of Wimbledon.</p>

<p>Djokovic is now only behind the legendary Roger Federer, who has won the prestigious competition a staggering 8 times in his career so far. This is Djokovic's 4th straight triumph in the men's singles competition at Wimbledon having won the title in 2018, 2019 and 2021 while the tournament was called off due to COVID-19 in 2020.</p>

<p>The finalist of Wimbledon 2022, Ons Jabeur refuted reports that her family couldn't attend the final match in London as they struggled with visas. The Tunisian tennis star said on Saturday (July 9) that there were no visa issues for family members because they never applied, news agency AFP reported.&nbsp;Britain said it would investigate when the reports were published that some members of her family didn't get UK visas. But before any proceedings, the player herself clarified.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 27-year-old Jabeur said, "I said they don't have the visa. I didn't say they applied and they (were) refused the visa."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jabeur became the first African or Arab woman to reach a Grand Slam final in the modern era. But in the summit lash, she lost to Russian-born Elena Rybakina, representing Kazakhstan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jabeur was earlier quoted by the BBC as saying her brother Hatem would "hopefully be there" to watch her. In a report, dated Friday, she was quoted as saying, "But unfortunately the other members of my family don't have visas." She added, "It will be tough for them but they will be cheering for me back home."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the aftermath of the report, the British embassy in Tunis wrote on its official Twitter feed that it was "sorry to hear that your parents and sister aren't able to be there to support you, and we will look into what happened."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In her comments later Jabeur smiled and said the issue had gone "really bad." She clarified that her parents never applied for a visa because there wasn't enough time. She laughed and said, "UK and Tunisia are good. Good relationships."&nbsp;</p>

Tunisia's Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur says family never applied for UK visa

<p>Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios is one match away from a first Grand Slam title but his brother, Christos, said on Sunday the Australian is already a champion in his family`s eyes after winning an off-court battle with his inner demons.</p>

<p>Nick Kyrgios, who in recent years had become well known for his antics and outbursts, opened up on his mental health struggles in February, saying he had had suicidal thoughts in the past.</p>

<p>"For a big chunk of the last six or seven years, I lost my little brother," Christos wrote in a column for the Sydney Morning Herald. "The world changed him. Tennis changed him. He became distracted, always worried about something.</p>

<p>"People wouldn`t know this but Nick and I stopped talking for quite a while. He was so unhappy in himself that he shut out the people that had his best interests at heart."</p>

<p>Christos added that he had "got his baby brother back" and credited Nick`s girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi, for helping turn his brother`s life around.</p>

<p>"Since he met his girlfriend Costeen, she`s helped open his eyes again. There was a lot of chaos in Nick`s life before he met her," he said.</p>

<p>"On Sunday night, I believe the rest of the world will get Nick Kyrgios the Wimbledon champion. For us, we`ve already got our baby brother back. Mum and Dad have got their son back.</p>

<p>"He is already a champion in all our eyes. Seeing him mature and evolve back into the happy fulfilled version of himself is all that I could have asked for ... I just want to see him winning in all aspects of life."</p>

It's special because I was super nervous, says Elena Rybakina after clinching maiden Wimbledon crown

<p>Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios has conceded that he is feeling nervous after making it to his maiden grand slam final, adding that he had a "shocking sleep" the day he made it to the Wimbledon title round after Spanish stalwart Rafael Nadal pulled out due to an abdominal injury.</p>

<p>Prior to entering the Wimbledon final, the 27-year-old has never advanced beyond the quarterfinal stage in singles at a grand slam, though he was at one point in time ranked No. 13 in the world.</p>

<p>Kyrgios admitted ahead of the Wimbledon singles final against Novak Djokovic that he had butterflies in the stomach as he waits for the clash against the Serbian, the winner of 20 majors.</p>

<p>"I had a shocking sleep last night (Thursday), though, to be honest. I probably got an hour`s sleep just with everything, like the excitement. I had so much anxiety, I was already feeling so nervous, and I don`t feel nervous usually," Kyrgios was quoted as saying by atptour.com.</p>

<p>"I just know there`s a lot of people that want me to do well and give my best. But I had a shocking sleep last night. Hopefully I can get some sleep tonight.</p>

<p>"I was just restless, so many thoughts in my head about a Wimbledon final. That`s all I was thinking about. I was thinking just playing, obviously imagining myself winning, imagining myself losing, everything," added the mercurial player.</p>

<p>Kyrgios, currently ranked No. 40 in the ATP rankings, believes his experience during this year`s Australian Open, where he and Thanasi Kokkinakis clinched the doubles title, had given him some confidence.</p>

<p>"You just have to ride the waves, roll with the punches in a grand slam. Like, you just don`t know. You really don`t know. You could be four points away from losing the tournament, then 11 days later you`re in the final. I just feel like I kind of just take it as it comes now more so than what I used to."</p>

<p>Kyrgios also wished Nadal speedy recovery, and added that he really wanted to play the Spanish stalwart in the semifinal here.</p>

<p>"It`s not the way I wanted to get to the final. As a competitor, I really did want that match. It was obviously something that as soon as I beat Garin, Rafa was a high possibility, someone I`ve had so many good battles with before. We`ve both taken a win against each other at this tournament. I really did want to see how the third chapter was going to go," Kyrgios said.</p>

<p>"Obviously you never want to see someone like that, so important to the sport, go down with an injury like that. He`s just played so much tennis. He`s had a gruelling season. I just hope he recovers. I`m sure I`ll play him again on a big stage."</p>

<p>Ons Jabeur will take on Elena Rybakina in a blockbuster women's singles final at Wimbledon 2022 on Saturday (July 09). While Tunisia's Jabeur is the first Arabic and African woman to reach a Grand Slam final in the modern era, Rybakina is also the first from her country to make it to a Grand Slam final. The duo have been in fine form throughout the tournament and will be looking to script history at the Centre Court on Saturday.</p>

<p>Rybakina, who represents Kazakhstan, was born in the Russian capital of Moscow and switched nationalities only in 2018 to get more chances at the top level. She has managed to make it to the final of Wimbledon 2022 amid a ban on Russian and Belarusian players at the tournament.</p>

<p>Rybakina defeated the experienced Simona Halep in a dominant fashion in her semi-final clash to make it to her maiden Wimbledon final. She mauled Halep 6-3, 6-3 in straight sets and will be hoping to continue her stellar run against&nbsp;Jabeur on Saturday.</p>

Wimbledon 2022 women’s singles final live streaming: When and where to watch Ons Jabeur vs Elena Rybakina?

<p>Ons Jabeur said the seeds of her history-making charge to the Wimbledon final were sown 12 months ago when she told her coaching team: "I'm coming back for the title." Jabeur became the first African woman to reach a Grand Slam final in the modern era when she beat close friend Tatjana Maria, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 in the semi-finals.</p>

<p>She will face Russian-born Elena Rybakina, now representing Kazakhstan, for the title on Saturday. Twelve months ago, Jabeur, 27, made the quarter-finals for the first time, losing to Aryna Sabalenka.</p>

<p>But on the way she knocked out five-time champion Venus Williams, 2017 winner Garbine Muguruza, as well as current number one Iga Swiatek. Having never previously got past the second round at the All England Club, that run gave her the taste for more.</p>

<p>"Not to lie to you, the dream kind of started last year when I enjoyed playing here, enjoyed the crowd," said the world number two.</p>

<p>"I didn't play so many Wimbledons before. Usually, it was the first and second round. It's tricky on grass but I knew I was playing good on grass because of my game and everything.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Melanie (Maillard), my mental coach, reminded me when I lost in the quarter-finals I told her like, 'I'm coming back next year for the title'."</p>

<p>"She was like, 'You will'. She knows that if I put something in my mind, I do it. I'm one step away from achieving it," said Jabeur. "I hope it's going to happen."</p>

<p>Jabeur coasted through the first four rounds at Wimbledon this year before needing three sets to defeat Marie Bouzkova and then three more to see off Maria. Her run to the final came after a dispiriting first-round exit at the French Open in May.</p>

<p>Jabeur had been one of the favourites for the title in Paris having won the Madrid clay court title followed by a runners-up spot finish to Swiatek in Rome. But a quick reset after her disappointment in the French capital put her back on course.</p>

<p>"I have a great team behind me, even though sometimes -- I'm not going to lie to you -- I maybe thought I was never going to make it or never going to make a Grand Slam title or a Grand Slam final," said Jabeur.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I had to remind myself why did I start playing tennis, what kind of joy that tennis brings to me. As soon as I remind myself that, I get pumped, motivated to go." Jabeur, one of only three Tunisian women with a world ranking, has a 2-1 winning edge over Rybakina, with her most recent victory in Chicago last year.</p>

<p>Russian and Belarusian players are banned from Wimbledon this year following the invasion of Ukraine. But there will be a Russian presence in the final after Rybakina, playing in her first Slam final, switched allegiance to Kazakhstan in 2018.</p>

<p>"I'm really happy representing Kazakhstan. They believed in me. There is no more question about how I feel," said the 23-year-old.</p>

<p>"It's already a long time my journey as a Kazakh player. I played Olympics, Fed Cup."</p>

<p>Rybakina had never got past the quarter-finals of a Slam before this year's Wimbledon. But the grass courts of Wimbledon are the perfect platform for her game.</p>

<p>She has fired 49 aces so far and boasts the second-fastest serve in the women's tournament at 122 miles (196 kilometres) per hour. Saturday's match throws up a radically different clash of tennis styles -- Jabeur's slice and change of rhythm facing down Rybakina's raw power.</p>

<p>There could also a sharp contrast in celebration. "She's not someone who screams a lot every point. I respect that about her. I know she's a very shy person even outside the court. Maybe I'll be the one screaming on Saturday," said Jabeur.</p>

'Coming for the title': Wimbledon trailblazer Ons Jabeur sets her sight on maiden triumph in final

<p>Top seed Novak Djokovic set up a blockbuster Wimbledon final against Nick Kyrgios after recovering from a torrid start to overwhelm Britain`s Cameron Norrie 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-4 on Friday. For an hour on a sun-baked Centre Court, inspired ninth seed Norrie outshone the 20-time Grand Slam champion and looked capable of a huge upset in his first major semi-final.</p>

<p>The partisan home crowd roared its approval as Norrie capitalised on a rash of errors from a tense-looking Djokovic to win five successive games and take the opening set. Djokovic, bidding for a fourth successive Wimbledon title and seventh in all, found his usual rhythm though and gradually seized the initiative as Norrie`s level dropped.</p>

<p>From the moment the Serbian broke Norrie`s serve in the eighth game of the second set it was one-way traffic.<br />
Norrie battled hard in the fourth set as the crowd found its voice again but ultimately could not resist Djokovic`s march into a men`s record 32nd final from 68 Grand Slam events.</p>

<p>Australian Kyrgios, handed a walkover in the semi-final by injured Spaniard Rafa Nadal, now stands between the 35-year-old Djokovic and a 21st Grand Slam title. Djokovic, who received a few boos after gesturing at a heckling fan after match point, admitted he had struggled to get to grips with Norrie early on.</p>

<p>"I didn`t start off well and he was the better player for the first set," Djokovic, who has now won 27 consecutive matches at Wimbledon dating back to 2017, said.</p>

<p>"In a Grand Slam semi-final, there`s always lots of pressure and expectation, Cameron didn`t have much to lose and he was playing the tournament of his life. I got a lucky break at 4-3, he kind of gifted me that game, and then the momentum shifted a little bit."</p>

<p>New Zealand-born left-hander Norrie was long odds to become the second British man in the professional era to reach the Wimbledon singles final. They were being slashed after a surprising first set in which Djokovic, contesting his 11th Wimbledon semi-final, laboured in the face of Norrie`s depth and accuracy.</p>

<p>A huge roar erupted around the court and on the adjacent hill where thousands watched on a screen as Norrie won a net exchange to break serve in the opening game. Djokovic replied immediately but his precision game looked badly out of sync as former U.S. college player Norrie romped to the first set.</p>

<p>Djokovic is an old hand at dealing with adversity though and after changing his racket and donning a white cap he transformed into his metronomic self. Norrie saved break points at 1-2 and 2-3 in the second set but Djokovic kept probing and Norrie missed an easy volley at 3-4, then a forehand, to concede serve.</p>

<p>Djokovic slipped 0-30 behind as he served for the set but reeled off the next four points to level the match. Norrie shanked a forehand over the baseline to drop serve at the start of the third and Djokovic seized control as hopes of an upset melted away in the sun.</p>

<p>The crowd tried to revive Norrie with chants of "Let`s go Norrie, Let`s Go" in the fourth set but it was in hope rather than expectation as Djokovic turned the screw. He will need to start better against Kyrgios on Sunday with the Australian leading their head-to-head series 2-0.</p>

<p>"The job is not finished," he said. "One thing is for sure there are going to be a lot of fireworks emotionally from both of us. I`ve never won a set off him. Hopefully it can be different this time."</p>

<p>Rafa Nadal turned up for practice at Wimbledon on Thursday a day after the 22-times Grand Slam winner played through an abdominal injury to beat American Taylor Fritz in an absorbing quarter-final. The Spaniard was back hitting forehands and backhands on the practice courts at Aorangi Park a day before his semi-final against Nick Kyrgios, and also went through his service motions.</p>

<p>Nadal had said that he did not know if he would be fit to play against Australian Kyrgios, after appearing close to retiring mid-match against Fritz on Centre Court. The 36-year-old Nadal, who is chasing a rare calendar-year Grand Slam after winning the Australian and French Open titles this year, also said he would undergo more scans on Thursday before deciding what to do.</p>
