Alexander Zverev has opened up about his physical condition at the 2025 French Open, revealing that he is still recovering from the illness that affected him during the Hamburg Open. The German star, ranked third in the world, admitted that his preparation for Roland Garros was far from ideal after battling severe sickness just days before arriving in Paris.
Speaking to the media, Zverev explained that he had been vomiting repeatedly and running a high fever in Hamburg, which impacted his performance in his second-round loss to Alexandre Muller. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic about his chances at the French Open, emphasizing that he has been working hard to regain full strength.
Zverev acknowledged that competing at a Grand Slam after such an intense illness presents challenges, but he is determined to push through and deliver his best tennis. He is set to face Jesper De Jong in the first round, hoping to build momentum as the tournament progresses.
