Alexander Zverev’s French Open campaign has ended in pain and agony after he sustained an injury during his semi-final match against Rafael Nadal.

It was not the ending anyone expected following a three-hour contest that produced plenty of high drama as Rafael Nadal reached the French Open final for an incredible 14th time - albeit after Alexander Zverev was forced to retire hurt with an ankle injury while trailing 7-6 6-6.

“Tough now. Very sad, he was playing an unbelievable tournament, he’s a very good colleague on the tour,” Nadal, who will face either Croatia’s Marin Cilic or Norway’s Casper Ruud on Sunday, said.“I know how much he’s fighting to win a Grand Slam.” “He started the match playing amazing,” Nadal said. “A miracle that first set but I was there fighting, trying to find solutions,” Nadal said.
