Alexander Zverev has confirmed speculations that his injury is a serious one as he heads back to Germany for further testing.

Zverev had to be pushed off the Philippe Chatrier Court on a wheelchair after twisting his ankle late in the second set as he trailed 7-6 (10-8) 6-6 in his meeting with the Spaniard, who is chasing a record-extending 14th title at Roland Garros.

After admitting last night that the injury seems like a serious one he wrote a status on Instagram explaining that he most likely tore several ligaments. He said:

"Hey guys! I am now on my way back home. Based on the first medical checks, it looks like I have torn several lateral ligaments in my right foot. I will be flying to Germany on Monday to make further examinations and to determine the best and quickest way for me to recover. I want to thank everyone all over the world for the kind messages that I have received since yesterday. Your support means a lot to me right now!"

If the initial scans prove to be true he will certainly miss Wimbledon with an even longer recovery likely.
