Sophia Thomalla: She reacts so emotionally to Alexander Zverev’s injury

Alexander Zverev assumes a longer break after injury

Zverev twisted his right foot in the semifinals of the French Open against Rafael Nadal on Friday and had to give up the game after a little more than three hours of play at the end of the second set. There is no precise diagnosis of how badly the 25-year-old has been injured.

Zverev is apparently assuming a longer break. “It looks like I have a very serious injury,” said Zverev in a video message distributed by the organizers on Saturday night. “But the medical team and the doctors are still checking it out. We’ll let you know when we know more,” said the German number one, visibly upset.
