the german looked in a good position to take the first set — until this key moment. 0h, oh, you saw what happened there, he has not wearing a sweat band and the racket slipped from his hand. a tie break ensued where zverev raced into a 6—2 lead. yet nadal showed his powers of recovery to take the opener in 91 minutes. nailed it! the noise ricocheting around the court. the second was equally epic. after a marathon 92 minutes including eight breaks of serve in 11 games, nadal forced a second tie break, but zverev badly rolled his ankle. he yells the german's misfortune sending nadal to a 1ath roland garros final where casper ruud or marin cilic await. dan 0gunshakin, bbc news. britain's alfie hewett and gordon reid are on course for a 10th consecutive grand slam wheelchair doubles title after reaching the french open final. the two—time defending champions will face gustavo fernandez and shingo kunieda
