Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios will undoubtedly be dreaming of holding the iconic men’s singles Wimbledon trophy aloft on Sunday - but both men will also be playing for the right to claim £2 million in prize money.
On Wednesday, Nadal sensationally defeated American star Taylor Fritz in a five-set thriller, triumphing 3-6 7-5 3–6 7-5 7-6 (7-3) to book his place in the last four. However, the 22-time Grand Slam champion suffered a frustrating abdominal injury that forced him to take a medical timeout and ultimately led him to withdraw from the Championships.
It meant Kyrgios has received a walkover to the Wimbledon final after he clinched the first Grand Slam semi-final appearance of his career. The Australian defeated Cristian Garin in the quarter-finals, triumphing in straight sets 6-4 6-3 7-6 (7-5).
