The fall of Germany Alexander Zverev in the semifinals of Roland Garros 2022 they continue on the retina of members of the professional tennis circuit and fans of this sport. It’s hard to forget how his right foot got stuck when he slid for a sent ball Rafael Nadal.
Their screams of pain still echo, drowning in the plant’s dirt. He broke his right ankle and had to be evacuated in a wheelchair to be evaluated. He returned on crutches to announce his retirement.
It was difficult for him to return to his highest level, but he has once again joined the elite. He showed it a few weeks ago by playing in the final of Roland Garros, who lost in five set matches Carlos Alcaraz.
He felt strong, so he announced that for the first time “I feel like I can be competitive at Wimbledon, that I can be in the tournament.” And that’s what he does, but along the way he’s given a big scare. He had another cold fall.
Typical of grass. The support leg (in this case the left one) slides and leads to the ground. He was smart not to try to avoid it. He fell and then jumped forward to avoid any joints getting stuck.
He had to be treated, his left knee was bandaged, but he beat the British Cameron Norrie by 6-4, 6-4 and 7-6 (15), in 2h.31′ of the match. In the presence of Pep Guardiolawho he praised in his winner’s speech, asking him to return to his beloved Bayern Munich or train him himself if he switched to tennis.
