Nadal to French Open final after Zverev injury

Rafael Nadal was locked in a tight, compelling and lengthy French Open semifinal Friday.

When his opponent, third-seeded Alexander Zverev,

Ran to to chase a shot and twisted his right ankle.

Zverev crumpled to the ground, wailing in agony and clutching at his lower leg.

His black outfit, arms and legs caked with rust-colored clay, Zverev was helped up by a trainer,

Then taken away from the court in a wheelchair Minutes later,

After Nadal saw him crying in a small room in the stadium,

Zverev came back out onto Court Philippe Chatrier on crutches, his right shoe removed, and conceded the match, unable to continue.
