Alexander Zverev is self-isolating like most of the world population to fight the spread of the Coronavirus. However, during an interview with the Bild, the German sensation confessed that he strongly suspects that both he and his gorgeous girlfriend Brenda Patea contracted the Coronavirus.
The world no.7 revealed: “My girlfriend Brenda and I were in China on December 28 [playing an exhibition with Federer].
You can’t imagine how I coughed for a month in Australia. I had a fever for two or three days and I coughed for five or six hours. Brenda too. We didn’t know what it was. It was a cough that I never had. I had no pain, but I coughed continuously every ten seconds.”
Indeed, Sascha had a rather weird run in January. After a disastrous campaign during the ATP Cup, the German reached the semifinal at the Australian Open.
