Rafael Nadal says he will have an MRI on his injured left foot and is unsure whether he will be able to play his Wednesday quarterfinal against Mardy Fish. Nadal injured his foot late in the first set of his 7-6, 3-6, 7-6, 6-4 victory over Juan Martin del Potro. Nadal took a medical timeout just before the first-set tiebreaker and had his foot wrapped, which he said gave him more support. But he added that the pain stayed with him throughout the match and that he could not push off on the foot when running to his left to hit forehands.
"I felt really bad during the [last] half of the first set," he told reporters. "With the 6-5, I felt terrible, no? I felt that I broke my foot at that moment. The point with the deuce, that point give me the set point, in that point I felt terrible. I asked for the trainer at that moment when the game was done. I seriously didn't know at that moment the match, I didn't know that if I will have the chance to continue playing....I am very happy to be through, winning against one of the best players of the world. I think was a fantastic match. [But] I'm worried, for sure. Tomorrow we will see. I cannot predict the future."
