US Open: Alexander Zverev officially forfeited
[ad_1]
The organizers of the US Open announced the German’s package on Monday. One week from the start of the tournament (August 29 – September 11), he still hasn’t fully recovered from his horrific ankle injury.
Unsurprisingly, Alexander Zverev, a finalist in 2020 and a semi-finalist last year, will be absent from the US Open this year. The tournament comes a little too early for the German who needs a few weeks to regain his full capacity.
Indeed, the world number 2 had seriously injured his right ankle (triple torn ligament) on June 3 during his semi-final against Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros. The world of sport still remembers this terrifying image of the German leaving the center court Philippe Chatrier in a wheelchair.
Alexander Zverev will therefore not tread the courts at Flushing Meadows. The German thus leaves the rank of seed 2 to Rafael Nadal.
