INDIAN WELLS – A dejected Rafael Nadal pulled out of his Indian Wells semi-final against old foe Roger Federer on Saturday with a right knee injury and said he’ll turn his attention to getting fit for the claycourt season.
World number two Nadal had made it to the last four without dropping a set, so it was especially devastating when knee pain flared up during his 7-6 , 7-6 quarter-final victory over Russian Karen Khachanov on Friday. Nadal reached the final at the Australian Open, and while he lost in straight sets to Novak Djokovic he said it was a positive sign after he had to pull the plug early on his 2018 season.
While Nadal said he feels knee pain “almost always”, in the face of this latest setback he insisted: “My goal doesn’t change”.
