LONDON: Nick Kyrgios has told Rafael Nadal that he hopes the Spaniard's "recovery goes well" after the 22-time Grand Slam title winner was forced to withdraw from their Wimbledon semi-final.

The pair were scheduled to renew their sometimes fractious rivalry at the All England Club on Friday with a place in the final at stake.

However, Nadal pulled out of the match on Thursday after failing to recover from an abdominal tear.

"Different players, different personalities. @rafaelnadal I hope your recovery goes well and we all hope to see you healthy soon -- till next time," Kyrgios wrote on Instagram.

The Australian will face either six-time champion Novak Djokovic or Cameron Norrie in Sunday's championship match.

I do not think there would be even one tennis player , who, for the love of the game would be talking or even thinking ill of Rafael Nadal and his contribution to the game of tennis. He has championed the cause of tennis worldwide with his immense humility. Even now with a 7mm tear in his abdominal region he says 'out of respect for his body' he is stepping aside from the tournament. Everyone wishes him a fast recovery.
