World number one Rafael Nadal said that he’s fit to play at the Wimbledon 2011 quarterfinals after an MRI scan showed that there’s no significant damage on his left foot. The defending Wimbledon champion injured his foot prior to the first set tiebreak in his fourth round clash against Argentina’s Juan Martin Del Potro on Tuesday. Despite the discomfort, Nadal won in four sets.
In his Facebook page, Nadal said: “Yesterday after the match I went to take an MRI at a London hospital.”
“During the match I thought I had something serious but as the match went through the pain got better and thankfully the tests don’t show an injury. Today I will practice at 4.30 pm and I’ll play tomorrow,” he added.
