Alexander Zverev retired injured from his French Open semi-final against Rafael Nadal on Friday.

The German third seed twisted his ankle as he tried to retrieve a shot in the 12th game of the second set and screamed in pain before being taken off the court Philippe Chatrier in a wheelchair.

After several minutes off court, Zverev returned to the arena on crutches to concede the match.

He was trailing Nadal 7-6(8) 6-6 when the match ended abruptly.
