2022 Roland Garros Semifinals: Rafael Nadal vs. Alexander Zverev

[Nadalfan2013]

My thoughts are when he wins RG, he will play Wimbledon because he knows if Novak falls he may have a opportunity to win a calendar slam plus he hasn't played that much since February

I don’t think he’s worried about Djokovic. The last time they played on grass Nadal almost won despite the roof. But yeah he will try to play in order to win the calendar slam and as you say he hasn’t overplayed in recent months.

BTW tournament officials did give Rafa a birthday cake off court for his 36th birthday, which is understandable seeing that Zverev retired due to a bad fall and hurt his ankle
Also from what I am hearing from journalist's Rafa went with Sasha when he was getting more treatment off court for his ankle with medical doctors and stayed with him for sometime after the match

There are many places reporting he is missing Wimbledon. I would think if it wasn’t true his team would have come out and said it wasn’t true by now.

There is no reason for team Rafa to add the distraction of whether he plays W or not until after Sunday.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Rafa is still on the entry list for Wimbledon, so as I said before lets wait till after RG is over and get confirmation from Rafa

Dont get me started about that close roof at SW19

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sasha just came on via twitter and said that the injury is serious and doctors are still doing tests etc, and will keep everyone updated
He also said it was a good match against Rafa till he fell over and wished him well to make more history in the final.

I couldn't have been more proud of Novak winning that match over 2 days after being "in the weeds"/woods for over a year and a half losing to the likes of Marco Cecchinato in Paris and M. Chung "down under!" He also had lost Queens tourney final to Cilic after having a match point! It was an amazing feat for him to "rise from the ashes" to capture his 4 Wimbledon; later going into USO as #6 seed to defeat Del Po in the final!

Definitely doesn’t sound like Wimbledon is on the cards.

No, by the way he was speaking this is serious could miss many months

AP according to Benito, Rafa's Manager, what Marca said earlier that Rafa will miss Wimbledon is not correct

That was one of the worst , harrowing things i've seen on a tennis court in 43 years i been avid follower of. Real bad luck for the germen. Let's hope the injured ankle gets healed in time for Wimbledon.

It was horrid to watch him fall over and twist his ankle, by the sound of his voice on twitter, saying it is very serious you can cancel him out of Wimbledon, he could be out for many months.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.. despite what Sis Moxie says about you ;-), you are still the Best!

It was just horrible to watch. Something is either torn or broken. It's a shame especially since he was playing his best clay court tennis to date

Monica Seles will be so pleased to see how seriously you've taken her "minor incident" from 1993 in comparison to a rolled ankle!

My goodness, this picture is awful to see
