Paris : World number three Alexander Zverev has reported that initial medical checks indicate that he has torn several lateral ligaments in his right foot following his horrible injury at French Open 2022.
The 25-year-old German was more than three hours into an epic semi-final with Rafael Nadal when he badly rolled his ankle while moving to his right.
The World No: 3 crashed to the ground and was taken off the court in a wheelchair before returning several minutes later to shake the hand of the chair umpire and hug Nadal.
‘I am now on my way back home, the World No. 3 wrote on Instagram. Based on the first medical checks, it looks like I have torn several lateral ligaments in my right foot.”
‘I will be flying to Germany to determine the best and quickest way for me to recover. I want to thank everyone all over the world for the kind messages that I have received’.
