PARIS : A year to the day after suffering a freak injury at Roland Garros, Alexander Zverev fought his way into the fourth round of the French Open, having rediscovered his joie de vivre in a thrilling match against his friend Frances Tiafoe on Saturday.
Playing in the same arena where the German had suffered torn ligaments in his ankle a year ago - an injury that ruled him out of action for several months - Zverev proved on Saturday that he was now back to full fitness."Today marks one year... I know that It's been the hardest year of my life," Zverev said on court.
"Having that stolen away from me made me unhappy. But now it's going to be a fun second week for me."For almost four hours, Zverev had to dig deep against 12th seed Tiafoe, his 'best friend on the tour'.
