The German, former world No. 2, is gradually regaining his level after tearing the ligaments in his right ankle against Nadal at Roland-Garros. This Tuesday, he offers himself an absolute test against Medvedev.

LTime flies, and yet the image of Sascha Zverev twisting his ankle in a semi-final, at loggerheads (the score was 7-6, 6-6), against Rafael Nadal at Roland-Garros, is still alive.
With torn right ankle ligaments, the Hamburg player left Court Philippe Chatrier in a wheelchair. The incident goes back more than nine months (284 days exactly), and the German, operated on in stride, has still not regained the amplitude of a tennis which brought him to 2nd in the world, precisely after this accursed Roland-Garros. But little by little, Zverev is rebuilding his nest. After a still very hesitant start to the season (beaten in the second round of the Australian Open by Michael Mmoh, 107th), he found a taste for success.
