WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — To prepare for his Wimbledon semifinal against Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal got in a little soccer practice.

The top-ranked Spaniard dashed around the practice court Thursday kicking and heading tennis balls, showing no sign his troublesome knees were bothering him.

His uncle and coach, Toni Nadal, said the player’s knees are in good shape ahead of Friday’s match against the fourth-seeded Murray.

Toni Nadal says his nephew’s game hasn’t changed and he’s ready to play five sets if necessary.
