From Morning Report, 8:28 am on 8 July 2022

Spanish tennis superstar Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from Wimbledon due to a torn abdominal muscle.

He was due to face Australian Nick Kyrgios in the semifinal on Saturday.

The decision means Kyrigios will advance to his first final at a major tournament, and face off with Novak Djokovic or Cam Norrie for the championship on Monday.

Australian tennis broadcaster Brett Phillips spoke to Morning Report.
