Rafael Nadal advanced to his 14th French Open final, but not quite in the manner he may have envisaged fists pumping and fighting to the finish. Alexander Zverev, who was giving Nadal a run around his house Court Philippe Chatrier for three hours and three minutes of the first men's semifinal, which looked set to challenge some time records, however, broke his ankle and exited the stage in tears.
In the 12th game of the second set, the 25-year-old running wide, chasing a forehand, twisted his right ankle and came crashing down on the clay. The 6ft 6" German, who had thumped 40 winners in the match, was clutching his leg and screaming in agony as he lay on his back. Nadal raced across the court as the tournament's support staff gathered around the sobbing German. He was helped on to a wheelchair and wheeled off the court.
