Zverev was playing the match of his life and for the first time at RG, Rafa was not sure what to do even though he somehow won the first set. Sad, sad end to what could have been a monstrous match.

Zverev was playing the match of his life but was still losing, insane.

Nadal is a LEGEND and a really good person too you could see clearly his concern for a friend the second it happened he knew it was quite serious hope he's ok soon

Zverev is such a great player, he was very respecful towards all of his opponents and his game is insane i wish him the best in the future and although i was obviusly rooting for Nadal in this match (As i am a Spaniard) i can't describe with words what i felt when i saw Zverev shouting in pain on the floor... He's a lion and has the fighting spirit, he'll come back for many great things im sure!

yo lo q no entiendo es q esto , si Rafa lleva un pie dormido , le tendria q haber pasado a el , no se como no le paso algo parecido a el , por el tema del pie dormido , pero yo no soy medico , nose es raro

This has to be every athlete's worst nightmare. So painful to watch and downright heartbreaking. I wanted Rafa to win so badly but not like that. This match was absolutely epic and would have gone down as one of RG's classic for sure. Speedy recovery Sasha. You are a Champ and your time will come. You did not deserve to have your tournament cut short like this. It is so so sad

Seriously, I don’t know any sports person that comes even close to Nadals humility and sportsmanship. He is outstanding, on and off the court. It’s just fantastic to see that his success in sports goes with such character - probably also not without. An honour witnessing his testimony.

Really? When Novak tried to provide more money for lower ranked players, did Nadal stand by Novak or against him? (same goes for Federer). Tell me something that Rafa did for other players that is close to this. When Wimbledon banned the participation of players from Russia and Belarus, who was the first to say that it is the wrong decision? Novak or Rafa? Rafa supported Novak in this situation only when he saw that it was a popular opinion. Until then, he was silent like a real coward. Do you want me to continue?

It’s so heartbreaking to see zverev go like this, hope he makes a quick recovery! It looked super painful coz u can hear the snap & cracking sound just around when he twists his ankle :( Rafa as always displaying the best sportsmanship on & off the court!

@@viveknamikaze761 technical skill wise Roger is better that’s pretty much what I’m saying. He has produced shots on a tennis court that we have never seen before. I’ve given Nadal and Djokovic massive complements here can’t you see that? Lol. They are high skilled in their own rights. Nadal and Djokovic were not blessed at birth with the natural skill with a racket that Roger has been, so they had to improve their games all the time and work very hard to match or surpass Rogers achievements. Not saying Roger just has to turn up to win and it’s easy for him, not in the slightest.

For me he is the goat but if he won for a 14th time he would be the greatest even if novak ends up winning more slams for one person to win that many at one grand slam is unreal nadal u are the 🐐🐐🐐

Parece 8ncreible que Rafa es el que tiene problemas con su pie, cojo, jugando infiltrado y le pase la lesión a su oponente... INCREÍBLE , PARTIDO EXTRAORDINARIO DE LOS DOS , SIN PALABRAS, UN TU A TU, DE FUERZA Y BUENOS GOLPES, MARAVILLOSO 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Un abrazo muy fuerte a Zverev, que gran partido!!! que se recupere pronto por favor

Great match. Sorry for Sasha. He must be gutted after he gave everything. Rafa needs to increase his level and better change direction of ball with his Back hand. Lot of balls landing middle of the court. Improve service games also. The condition most likely will be indoors Sunday as well

Pain

Rafa's living room may sometimes be messy though he is the quintessential GPS (Greatest Problem Solver on a 🎾 Court) Ps. Horrendous ankle twist notwithstanding. Get well soon Sascha!

what sort of commentary is this guys? both players playing out of their skins to give us one heck of a match and all you can say is "oh", "beautiful"? do you guys do one word commentary? expect better from eurosport.

Thanks God it wasn't Rafa who got hurt. Who knows if his foot is not more painful (and over all those years) that Zverev's ankle. But Rafa would cry like that that, he's to manly... I do not wish to anyone to get injuried but as it happend anyway it's a pity it didn't happen earlier in the match... The most important is to rest well and be able to give his best tomorrow.

@@maciejkusy5652 the thing is most sport players don’t cry of the pain, they cry cause they immediately know the match is over or the tournament is over. It’s overwhelming how much things go through ur mind in such a short amount of time. Of course it hurt extremely but it’s also the emotions immediately coming up cause u realise u have a very serious injury. Can’t understand how u can hate on a guy, That probably won’t play tennis for a while. And u could even hear the sound of sth. Breaking inside… Hope he gets well as soon as possible
