The German Alexander Zverev added another event to his extensive history of sports accidents. He once again messed with one of his ideas, this time accidentally and harming a colleague and friend more than himself.
What is missing in German? On a Saturday without an individual commitment, because it is this Sunday when he has an appointment with the Italian Luca Darderi In the third round, he played a doubles match.
At his side, the Brazilian Marcelo Melo, who he even spent vacations with. They have been very close for a long time. Opposite, two tennis troublemakers, the American Ben Shelton and the Kazakh Alexander Bublik.
The latter couldn’t stop laughing, unable to believe what he witnessed on the other line. From the hand of a star of this sport.
Zverev stepped back to defend a ball and hit a backhand cross straight over Melo’s head. A nice shot. The backhand is, to make matters worse, his best shot.
In fact, from then on came the reaction of the opposing couple, who overcame the disadvantage of one set and 0-3 in the second. They won Bublik and Shelton by 2-6, 6-3 and 10-7.
There’s no shortage of jokes in a game that gained popularity because of the ball’s hit. Fire friend.
