Alexander Zverev caused relief after his exciting quarter -final game at the US Open. The German tennis star said that with his right foot after a kinking during the game, everything was fine. The match against the American Brandon Nakashima ended with a clear 3: 6, 6: 1, 6: 2, 6: 2 in favor of Zverev. The incident occurred in the fourth set when the Olympic champion in 2021 took an unusual step and limped for a short time. "I took a strange step, I was slightly kinked. But everything is fine, nothing you have to worry about," Zverev calmed his fans after the exciting game.

It is all the more important for Zverev that after his serious ankle injury at the French Open 2022, he is back on the pitch. At that time he had to undergo an operation and failed for months. These experiences have clearly shaped his attitude to the game and injuries.

The upcoming challenge against Taylor Fritz

With the successful end of his quarter -final, Zverev also qualified for the ATP Finals, which will take place in Turin in November. This was announced by the ATP after its victory. Zverev will meet the US professional Taylor Fritz in the semifinals, against whom he had already lost in the Wimbledon round of 16 this season. At that time, he was plagued by a knee injury from a previous match that impaired his performance. "Now I'm healthy, that's the big difference," emphasized the 27-year-old Hamburger, which underlines his confidence for the coming game.

Zverev's comeback caused a sensation because he finds form again after his injury and can compete against strong competitors. His focus is now on the upcoming challenge in New York, where he can demonstrate his skills. This upswing in competitive sports is of great importance not only for Zverev, but also for his followers and shows that he wants to leave the difficult times behind.
