Here’s something you don’t see every day. Or… ever!
Watch as Alexander Zverev loses grip of his racquet after striking a forehand, sending the stick flying into the fourth row in Shanghai.
The strange moment didn’t affect Zverev’s focus in the match. He battled past Jeremy Chardy in straight sets 7-6(13) 7-6(3). The German will face Andrey Rublev for a spot in the quarterfinals on Thursday in Shanghai.
