PARIS : Alexander Zverev rolled into the French Open semi-finals on Wednesday a year after leaving the Grand Slam in a wheelchair and said his injury issues in the last 12 months made his achievement a little sweeter.

That's what you play for. I think the two most important things in tennis are Grand Slams and the Olympic Games.
