Zverev disappointed in Hamburg: Disease stops the home dream!

Hamburg, Deutschland - Alexander Zverev ended his dress rehearsal for the upcoming French Open in Hamburg with a defeat. In the round of 16, he had to give up the French player Alexandre Müller. The match ended 3: 6, 6: 4, 6: 7 (5) and lasted a total of 2:42 hours. Despite his poor health and a very strenuous performance, Zverev showed a combative commitment on the pitch.

Before the tournament, Zverev suffered from an illness that gave him a body temperature of 39.4 degrees fever and severe nausea. He stated that he had a total of 37 times. Nevertheless, he decided at short notice to appear at his home tournament. After the match, he expressed his pride in the performance performed because he had given everything, even under these difficult conditions. "Only a few players had played under such circumstances," said Zverev in an interview after he was only two points from the victory.

View of the French Open

Despite the defeat, Zverev remains confident about his goals for the French Open that start on Sunday. However, he was unsure when he would travel to Paris because he only wanted to recover from the hardships in Hamburg. Zverev initially had strength and energy-free in the match, which was reflected in his way of playing.

The Hamburg Open are now continued without German participation, since Justin Engel also left in the round of 16. Angel lost 3: 6, 5: 7 against the number three of Andrej Rubljow, but received applause from the spectators for his performance.

While the tennis world is preparing for the French Open, it remains to be seen how Zverev can regenerate in the coming days in order to be competitive in Paris. In Hamburg, despite his health problems, he did everything possible to prepare for the tournament.
