LONDON: Alexander Zverev came dangerously close to crashing into the umpire's chair on Centre Court while reaching for a short ball in the Wimbledon third round against Briton Cameron Norrie. The fourth-seeded German, who went down in a nasty heap, fortunately used his hands to break the momentum of the fall midway through the second net.
Zverev appeared to twist his ankle, but rolled over clutching his knee, shouting in agony. The 27-year-old, who has been in exemplary form, dropping just 15 games across six sets, coming into the third round, picked himself up well after the fall even though his court coverage was slightly hampered and he twice required treatment.
