Christ, doesn't sound good.
FFS 
I couldn't tell what he actually did?
What happened?
Wheelchair
That sucks
I could hear him cry on radio. Sounds awful. I don't know if he can come back but that sounded horrible. Did anyone see what happened?
Nope. Sounds like he's rolled his ankle. Not something you really see at high level tennis
He turned his ankle very badly- they finally showed a replay.
Christ. Why the feck are they showing the replay?!
He slipped and rolled his ankle, looked painful as hell
It was like Neville v Wigan.
Not to take away from Zverev's injury, but this is exactly why Clay shouldn't be played indoors.
The clay is damp, and heavier and it becomes harder to slide over the surface as there's more resistance.

Its a shame...very tight game.. hope he recovery well soon
Damn...Get well soon Zverev.
Neverthless, not Human what Rafa is showing day by day. If his injuries were that bad he wouldn't be able to play on that intensity. He is either a bit of a showman or Dr. Fuentes is his best friend.

What a stupid comment.
Wheelchair tennis tiebreak.
That's game over, no Wimbledon for him too. Was really playing so well. Hope he wins his first slam soon.
Not the way we wanted it, but Rafa marches on!
Game over
Hobbles out on crutches to say bye to the ref and the crowd.
Anyone else think Zverev resembles a giant Antoine Griezmann ?
Damn that’s no Wimbledon for him either, gutting for Zverev.
This bodes well for Nadal’s chances in the final. If Zverev took the second set it would likely have been a 5h+ game.

Thanks. Hope it's nothing too serious, just heard that the match is over.
I said that to my partner
I agree. Did he roll the ankle while doing a slide? I don't know whether closing the roof is done for the sake of tv scheduling like the night matches but I think making all these adjustments to sports for the sake of tv is negatively affecting sports.
I am beyond sad and frustrated. Not just because of the injury - off course i am most sad about that, but the way Zverev handed that first set and couldn't finish second set either while being in my humble opinion a better player was so frustrated to watch.
Nadal needs to play a lot better in the final even if it's Cilic or Ruud. You can't be this bad and get away with it in a Slam final.
Whoever he plays in the final won't be as good as the last 2 opponents he's had in fairness and despite the patchiness in his play he's still such a daunting opponent at Roland Garros. Zverev getting injured helps him though because it's difficult to know what he would have had left in the tank if that match had gone on forever as it looked like it would.
he did his best to brown up like him after rolling about in the clay too.
what the
So, Nadal is skipping Wimbledon
*clears throat*
nooooooooooo
*clears throat*
nooooooooooo
Reminds me of a short Alexander Skarsgard
Very surprised he can resist the temptation to go for the calender Slam which would make him the undisputed GOAT. Maybe he doesn't really believe he can beat Djokovic at Wimbledon.
On the other hand, Rafa showed a lot of mental resolve in a very important match and it's always nice to see him in another final.
Here's hoping he extends the slam record to 22.
Must be to do with his foot. It all rests on Sir Andy of Murray's shoulders now. Who's currently on a 5 match winning streak in preparation!
Cilic seems to play well despite not appearing like he gives a toss
Again for me it comes down the same thing. The likes of Zverev and Tsitsipas just don't have the weapons required to kill off points in those situations. They're good players, but you're going to eventually face an onslaught from Rafa/Novak/Djokovic when they'll start hitting through you and peppering the lines. The only way to counter that is by attacking yourself, and they don't have it in them.
Zverev and Tsitsi are both fundamentally entitled, pampered pr*cks, to be fair. The sooner they go, the better.
