Rafael Nadal is playing a rough quarterfinal against Taylor Harry Fritz. Unfortunately, Rafa has been struggling for a couple of matches with an abdominal issue to play with a massive plaster on his abdomen.
When Rafa asked for medical attention during his match against Fritz, the cameraman caught Nadal’s father urging him to retire.
