Alexander Zverev opening his press conference on Friday by admitting that his plane was struck by lightening en route to Paris and was forced to make an emergency stop.
“We were supposed to fly yesterday evening at 6.45pm, and we took off from Hamburg,” Zverev said.
“We got struck by lightning. We had to do an emergency landing back in Hamburg.
“It made a little noise — no real wobbling or anything. It was a first-time experience.”
