Meanwhile, Nadal’s fellow countryman Carlos Sainz had a special message for the 21-time Grand Slam winner before the semi-final. Notably, Sainz is one of the most popular drivers in F1 and he drives for Ferreri.

Moreover, Nadal could potentially miss the Wimbledon as well due to continuous pain in his foot. According to reports, he has been taking painkillers to reduce the pain and playing matches for the last few weeks. Now, it will be interesting to see if he’s able to win the semi-final match against Zverev or not with that kind of pain. Before the start of the tournament, Nadal talked about playing through pain to achieve his goal and he’s probably going to do that against the German as well.
