Rafa Nadal suffered stomach problems and had to receive medical assistance

When everything was going to face and with two sets in favor, Rafa Nadal saw how the quarterfinal match of the Australian Open against the Canadian Denis Shapovalov was complicated when he suffered stomach problems that forced him to seek medical attention.

The man from Manacor explained his problems to the doctor on the court by clearly gesturing to his stomach, something that reduced his performance and allowed Shapovalov to equalize the match by winning the third and fourth sets to take the match to the fifth and final round.

However, despite having a hard time, especially in the fourth set, Rafa Nadal was able to overcome the problems to bring out his best version in the fifth and seal the ticket to the semifinals where the winner of the duel between Berrettini and Monfils awaits him.
