Nick Kyrgios, who was scheduled to face Nadal Friday, will automatically advance to Sunday’s final. Sunday will mark Kygios’ first appearance in a grand slam final.
Rafael Nadal’s bid to win this third grand slam title in a row ended on Thursday as he pulled out of Wimbledon before his semifinal match.
Nadal fought to earn a spot in the semifinals by defeating Taylor Fritz in a five-set quarterfinal thriller. Nadal won the final two sets against Fritz to make it to the semifinals. Nadal cited an abdominal muscle injury for his retirement. Nadal is the all-time leader for grand slams by a male single's player with 22.
Kyrgios has faced controversy this week after a court summoned the Australian tennis star to answer accusations of domestic assault.
