The third world number, Alexander Zverev (28 years old), flew to Paris, where he will play at Roland Garros, with a plane that, during the flight, was hit by a lightning bolt.
Next to Zverev, the plane was the Czech tennis player Jiří Lehečka (37 ATP) and the American Brandon Nakashima (29 ATP), as well as a few double players. They were flying from Hamburg to the capital of France, where they will participate in the second Grand Slam tournament of the season.
Alexander Zverev told the stress they went through
Later, Alexander Zverev told the whole experience he went through. “My trip so far was quite phenomenal. I have some funny anecdotes. My journey here was fun because we had to fly last night at 6:45 pm.
I took off from Hamburg and fly with Jiří Lehečka and Brandon Nakashima, a few boys from double – and He hit us a lightning bolt. So we had to go back to Hamburg. I couldn't find another plane so everyone else flew the next morning. I took another plane and took off around 01:00, so I arrived here at 03:00 in the morning. ”Said Alexander Zverev, according to Sportal.blic.rs.
The Roland Garros 2025 tour started on May 19, with the qualifying matches, and the final will take place on June 8.
