2022 Roland Garros Semifinals: Rafael Nadal vs. Alexander Zverev

[Moxie]

Believe me or not, seeing him come out on crutches has me in tears. What a shame.

 

[kskate2]

No, it's over. He came back out on crutches to shake the umpire's hand. So terribly sad.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I have been watching in peace
So sad for Sasha

 

[Moxie]

I hope Zverev can come back from this quickly. I may not like him much, but no one wants to see this.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Horrible ending for the match.. I hope Sascha will be able to recover in a few weeks..

 

[rafanoy1992]

I do not want to see any player get injured like THAT especially during a match. Also, I am hoping that there is no significant damage on Zverev's ankle.

 

[tossip]

wow thats anti clamatic,hope he heals well..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well at least the ankle is not broken, he could have done ligament damage,torn ligaments
He is a big unit and falling over like he did would not have helped his cause

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The conditions in this match were slow and horrific we could have been here tomorrow and there still may have not been finished

 

[tossip]

so Sascha is out for the rest of the season,so sad for him.I dont like him but this must be devastating for him and his team.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I hope Cilic and Ruud took note of the conditions and have a plan. It looked brutal out there.

I am ready to see some bombs if they open the roof now. This was painful to watch despite the injury.

 

[tossip]

so folk are saying this is Rafa s his last RG....sad

Agree, actually it reminded me of the slow and heavy conditions when the tour went to Hamburg on clay,thank goodness those days are far gone.The match was all about defense...hoping Sasha will be okay, that fall was hard to watch

 

[rafanoy1992]

If I were Zverev, I will not take a chance to even play Grass court tennis. Just heal that ankle and hopefully he can play North American Hardcourt summer swing.

Such BS! Rafa's running game on people! He's FOS and has no shame playing this "IDK" simp who can barely hold a conversation in English!

Did they already say that?!

I don’t know everytime I see Rafa he seems a bit more like he is wearing the weight of his tennis for the worse with each tournament he plays. I think sooner or later you ask yourself do I want to potentially injure myself to the point where my body doesn’t even allow me to enjoy retirement.

that and maybe he wants to start a family w/ his wife.

No, they did not say that. I do think Zverev will probably skip Grass season altogether. He can't take a risk on that right ankle especially with the NA HC swing and Fall indoor season.
