After withdrawing from the Roland Garros semifinal against Rafael Nadal due to a serious ankle sprain, Alexander Zverev, who left the court on crutches, recorded some videos on Instagram in which, among other things, he wishes the Spanish tennis player luck for the final of the Sunday against Ruud.

“It seems that I have a very serious injury, but the doctors are still assessing it and we will inform you soon,” said the 25-year-old German.
The semi-final against Nadal was 3 hours and 13 minutes into the game when Zverev took poor support and landed with all his weight on his ankle.
"It was a very difficult moment for me on the court."
