Nadal quits at Miami Open after feeling dizzy
Miami : Spanish tennis ace Rafael Nadal retired from a Miami Open match after feeling “dizzy” in stifling conditions.
Nadal called for the doctor twice before quitting. He was then trailing 0-3 in the deciding set against World No. 94 Damir Dzumhur. This is also the first time in six years that Nadal has retired from a match.
“Hopefully it’s nothing, it’s just the extreme conditions,” Nadal was quoted as saying by the BBC on Sunday.
“I called the doctor a couple of times but I felt I was not safe there, so I decided to go.”
Dzumhur was ahead of Nadal with 2-6, 6-4, 3-0 after an hour and 50 minutes when Nadal decided to quit.
“Everything was fine until the end of the first set,” added the 29-year-old.
“I started to feel not very good, it was getting worse and worse and worse. In the second set I realised that I was not able to keep playing. I tried to resist but I got a little bit scared to be too dizzy. I wanted to finish the match but I seriously couldn’t.”
The last match Nadal retired from was the 2010 Australian Open quarter-final against Britain’s Andy Murray.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
