Roland Garros, Zverev: “Very serious injury”

Video message from the German after the sprained right ankle that forced him to retire in the semifinal with Nadal: “Congratulations to Rafa, I wish him to win the 14th title here”

“It looks like a very serious injury, but the doctors are still doing checks.” With a video on social media Alexander Zverev updated on his condition after the sprained right ankle that forced him to retire in the Roland Garros semifinal against Rafa Nadal. “It was a very difficult moment on the pitch, it was a fantastic match until what happened – his words – happened. I will keep you updated as soon as we know more.”

The compliments

After losing the first set 7-6 (8), Zverev retired on 6 equal to the second: he fell, he rolled on the field screaming in pain and, a few minutes later he was taken out in a wheelchair. He then returned to the field on crutches to formalize his abandonment. “Of course I want to congratulate Rafa and I hope he can make history even more with his 14th Roland Garros title,” added the German.
