Nadal fit to face Fish

Rafael Nadal has declared himself fit to resume the defence of his Wimbledon title against Mardy Fish on Wednesday.

The Spaniard suffered an injury to his left foot during the first set of his fourth-round win over Juan Martin Del Potro on Monday, saying afterwards that a "crushed" bone could end his tournament prematurely.

But after having an MRI scan late on Monday night, the 25-year-old has been passed fit to play and will put his injury to the test on the practice courts.

In a statement released on his Facebook page, he said: "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 4.30pm and I'll play tomorrow. Thanks all for the support."
