Alexander Zverev has had surgery on torn ligaments in his right ankle following his painful exit from the French Open semi-finals.
The German world number three turned his ankle while trailing eventual champion Rafael Nadal in the last four in Paris last week, screaming in pain before retiring from the match.
The 25-year-old did not say when he will be back on court, but looks certain to miss Wimbledon which begins on June 27. The US Open starts on August 29. "We all have our own journey in life.
This is part of mine," Zverev wrote to his 1.8 million followers on Instagram late Tuesday alongside a picture of him giving a thumbs-up from a hospital bed.
