Nick Kyrgios is through to the final of Wimbledon after Rafael Nadal withdrew from tonight’s semi-final due to injury. “I have tried a lot of times in my career to keep going but it is obvious the injury will get worse,” he said. “I think it doesn’t make sense to play. I feel very sad to say that.” It would have been the Aussie’s first grand slam semi-final of his career – so it’s definitely his first final… He’ll be going up against Novak Djokovic or Cameron Norrie for the big trophy – their semi is tonight. The women’s final has been set – Saturday night will see Kazakhstan’s Elena Rubakina and Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur go for it. Rubakina is the favourite for that match. Also worth noting – Sam Stosur and Matthew Ebden were the first Aussie duo to reach a Wimbledon mixed doubles final in 18 years. They lost in straight sets this morning.
