On the imposing Philippe Chatrier main court in Paris, which houses Roland Garros, the first finalist of the French Open was sought 2022 and the day would end in an unfortunate outcome with the injury of Alexander Zverev, who was competing against Rafael Nadal at the highest level.
Nadal came from behind in the first set and beat the German number 3 7-6 (10/8) of the world. Then in the second round the intensity increased and when the game was 6-6 one of the saddest moments in the history of the tournament occurred.
Nadal had the ball to try to force again the ‘tie break’, the Spaniard made Zverev run at maximum demand towards his right side and when sliding on the fine clay he sprained his ankle. He threw himself to the ground to complain disconsolately of pain and his screams sensitized all the fans who gave him a resounding ovation with applause.
He had to leave in a wheelchair to be treated by the doctors and after a while he returned on crutches to say goodbye to the fans who did not move from their seats until they knew about the young man’s state of health Teuton of 25 years old.
