A sad moment today at Roland Garros.
Everything went perfectly so far for German Alexander Zebrav in the tournament.
He ousted the excellent Carlos Alcars, would have looked in wonderful shape, and even today in the semi-final against Rafael Nadal he played well.
But during the tiebreaker in the second set, the third-ranked slipped badly on the ankle and was seriously injured.
For long minutes he lay on the clay, and the medical staff helped him get off the field in a wheelchair, and in fact his fate was decided in the tournament.

The entire network mourned the dismissal of the 25-year-old tennis player, who will continue to seek his first Grand Slam title.
Misha Zebrav is sitting in the studio of the German Eurosport with tears.

What a bad moment for Zebrav

Rafa Nadal vs. Alice, Novak and now Zebrav = competitive marathon every two days / Mountain sections in the Tour de France / Playoff one long prophecy of one man.
It is difficult to describe the effort.
It was almost unbelievable to see him take the first set and reach a point-breaking point in the second set before Zebrav was heartbreakingly injured.
Some upheavals and dramas

A very painful injury for Zebrav, who retired from the Epic semi-final against Nadal.
An exhausting and long battle, more than three hours ending 7: 6, 6: 6 with the injury.
Zebrav gave a brilliant play, pushing Nadal right to the edge.
Joy Chandal in the final, but it is impossible not to regret for Zebrav.

Can't believe a game with such an epic and weird and amazing potential (fucking three hours for two sets) is going to end in the evacuation of Zebra on a wheelchair.
How cruel it is.
Hopefully he will somehow recover and be at least a tie breaker.
His cries were painful.

The crying of this zebra is heartbreaking at the highest levels
