London, June 29: World No. 1 Rafael Nadal has said that he is fit to face 10th seed Mardy Fish in today's Wimbledon quarterfinal.
The defending champion had feared that his tournament could be over after needing hospital treatment for a foot injury sustained during the first set of his fourth-round victory over Juan Martin Del Potro on Monday.
However, an MRI revealed that there was no serious injury beyond some swelling in the peroneal tendon.
"Good morning everybody. Yesterday after the match I went to take an MRI at a London hospital. During the match I thought I had something serious but as the match went through the pain got better and thankfully the tests don't show an injury. Today I will practice at 4.30 pm and I'll play tomorrow. Thanks all for the support," Nadal wrote on his Facebook page.
Nadal has lost only one set against Fish in their five previous meetings. (ANI)
