Nested Sequences in Complete Metric Space not Tending to Zero may be Disjoint

Theorem
Let $M = \struct {A, d}$ be a complete metric space.

Let $\family {S_k}_{k \mathop \in \N}$ be a nested sequence of closed balls in $M$.

Let the radii of $\family {S_k}_{k \mathop \in \N}$ be convergent in $M$, but not to zero.

Then it is not necessarily the case that their intersection $\displaystyle \bigcap S_k$ is non-empty.

Proof
Let $M = \struct {A, d}$ be Sierpinski's metric space:


 * $A = \set {x_i: i = 1, 2, 3, \ldots}$
 * $\map d {x_i, x_j} = 1 + \dfrac 1 {i + j}$

Let $S_k = \set {y \in A: \map d {y, x_k} \le 1 + \dfrac 1 {2 n} }$.

From Nested Sequence of Closed Balls in Sierpinski's Metric Space with Empty Intersection:
 * $\displaystyle \bigcap S_k = \varnothing$
