ATP – Shanghai > Zverev already back! “It will take two or three months for the lung inflammation to disappear completely but the doctor told me that there is nothing that could delay the healing or make it worse.”

Forfeited for the ATP 500 in Beijing due to pneumonia, Alexander Zverev will make his return at the Masters 1000 in Shanghai, from October 3 to 13. The world number 2, who is doubled by Carlos Alcaraz next Monday, received the green light from his doctor.

“I have lung inflammation. It will take two or three months for it to disappear completely. The reason I withdrew from Beijing was that I was very ill. I had a high fever during and after the Laver Cup. I ended up in the hospital. I didn’t feel very well and didn’t have the energy to play. I took antibiotics for a week. I always feel like I’m a little more tired than usual, but I either stop the season or play as best I can. The doctor told me there is nothing that will delay the healing or make it worse if I play. that’s why I’m here and I’m happy to give everything I can”explained the German in comments reported by Outdoor tennis.
