Alex Corretja reacted to the schoking injury of ALexander Zverev by wishing him all the best and underlining his belief that he will win one for sure.
Alexander Zverev was playing one of the best matches of his career with a fairly solid chance to book the Roland Garros final. Unfortunately, the match was cut short by an injury that left his immediate future uncertain. Reacting to it for Eurosport live not long after it happened, Corretja said:
"I watched it live. I was commentating the match in Spain. He tried to slide but unfortunately, it twisted completely. You could see it right away. This is like a lesson in life. One minute you are playing one of the best matches of your life and 10 seconds later you can't continue."
He continued:
"Just live the moment. It's a shame he has to go out like this. I wish him the best and I'm sure Sascha Zverev will win a slam for sure"

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
