Đoković pulls out from Wimbledon semis

Đoković had taken the first set against Nadal on Court One but did not look fully fit after a tough week.

And when Nadal moved 3-6 6-1 4-1 in front, fourth seed Đoković pulled out with a toe problem.

With two players not renowned for their speed between points it was not a huge surprise that the first game took nine minutes, with Nadal missing three break points.

Less predictable was that Nadal would then drop serve immediately and he could not claw his way back as Đoković took the first set.

The Spaniard's fighting qualities are well known, though, and he took a grip of the second by moving to the net and thumping away a smash on break point in game two.

With Đoković visibly struggling after spending almost 10 hours on court in the last two days, Nadal broke again for a 5-1 lead and served out to level.

The trainer was then called to attend to Đoković's toe and although the Serbian battled on, when he slipped a double break down in the third he called it a day.
