Rafael Nadal will fight for the 14th title at Roland Garros, the 22nd Grand Slam trophy in his career!
The Spaniard did not shine, more precisely, he played his worst tennis in the tournament, but the German Alexander Zverebv was indisposed. He dropped four tied set balls in the tie-break of the first set (leading 6:2), he also dropped serve for the second set...
At the moment when he injured his right ankle, the score was - 7:6, 6:6.
Zverev's fall looked heavy and painful, and it happened after the last point before the tie-break of the second set.
They tried to recover the German during the medical time-out, but...he came out of the locker room on crutches and greeted the audience waving a medical prop.
The rival in Sunday's final, Rafi, will be better from the second semi-final, in which the Norwegian Kasper Rud and the Croatian Marin Čilić meet.
