When Zverev fell against Alcaraz on Monday in Turin, all observers logically thought of his terrible injury against Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals of Roland-Garros, which had kept him away from the circuit for more than six months.

But at a press conference after his victory against the world number 2, throwing him perfectly into his group at the Masters, the German wanted to be reassuring.
“My ankle didn’t turn, I felt it straight away. I just slipped and pinched my Achilles heel. It hurt for a minute or two, like when you hit your elbow on a nerve. It wasn’t pleasant but I knew it would be okay. And, no, I didn’t think about what happened because I knew my ankle hadn’t turned, it was completely different. I just slipped”declared the 8th in the world who will play again on Wednesday against Daniil Medvedev.
