While Fritz was struggling with an ankle problem, Nadal was dealing with a chest issue he picked up during an epic three-set semi-final battle with 18-year-old compatriot Carlos Alcaraz.
"When I'm breathing, when I'm moving, it's like a needle all the time inside. I get dizzy a little bit because it's painful," Nadal said.
"It's a kind of pain that limits me a lot. It's not only about pain, I don't feel very well because it affects my breathing.
"More than sadness for the loss, (it's) something that I accepted immediately and even before the match ended. I'm suffering a little bit, honestly."
