Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal suffered a serious rib injury ahead of his match against Taylor Fritz in the final of the Indian Wells Tennis Tournament.
‘Cadena Ser’ quoted Nadal as saying, ‘It’s not good news and I didn’t expect it. I am very disappointed and sad as I was feeling better after a good start to the season. “I will have to be patient and work hard once I recover,” he said.
Nadal did not look comfortable and was having trouble breathing during his match against Taylor Fritz at Indian Wells on Sunday. He was seen rubbing his chest with his hand several times during the match.
