American Taylor Fritz said his Wimbledon quarter-final loss to Rafa Nadal was the most painful of his career, after the Spaniard mounted a remarkable comeback to win in a fifth-set tiebreak.
Struggling with an abdominal injury, the 22-times Grand Slam winner once appeared close to retiring mid-match but found the mental fortitude to beat Fritz 3-6 7-5 3-6 7-5 7-6 , whipping the adoring crowd into a joyous frenzy but leaving his opponent emotionally crushed.
Fritz said squandered opportunities cost him dearly, especially as Nadal served to stay in the match in the fourth and fifth sets, as he failed to apply pressure on the twice champion.
