“After the first medical examinations, it looks like I tore several side ligaments in my right foot,” Zverev said on Instagram on Saturday. He will fly to Germany on Monday for further examinations.
Then he will clarify what is the best way to return quickly, Zverev wrote for a photo that showed him with a splint on his right foot and crutches in front of an airplane.
The 25-year-old twisted his right foot in a duel with 13-time Paris champion Nadal on Friday and had to give up the game. On the night of Saturday, the Olympic tennis champion said in a video message published by the organizers that it looked like “I had a very serious injury”.
How long Zverev has to pause is still unclear. A start at the lawn classic in Wimbledon, which begins on June 27th, is probably impossible.
