Returning to his serious injury contracted in the semi-finals of the last edition of Roland-Garros against Rafael Nadal in the columns of BildAlexander Zverev, who faces Peruvian Varillas in the first round of the Australian Open tonight, has revealed that he actually tore no less than seven ligaments in his right ankle.

“It was really complicated. It has always been reported that three ligaments were torn, but there were actually seven, three of which were operated on. After seven weeks, everything was healed, but I had bone edema (accumulation of fluid in the bone marrow, editor’s note) that did not heal properly. They didn’t tell me and I started rehabilitation and training too soon, which made these swellings worse. »
