Alexander Zverev, currently ranked world number three, has officially withdrawn from the ATP 250 Swiss Open in Gstaad. The decision comes shortly after his early exit from Wimbledon, where he lost in a five-set match to Arthur Rinderknech. Organizers confirmed his absence, citing personal reasons.
Emotional and physical recovery
Zverev has been navigating a demanding schedule throughout 2025 and is now taking time off to recover both physically and mentally. Following his loss at Wimbledon, he expressed feelings of emptiness and emotional fatigue, revealing that he has struggled to find joy in recent months. This break is intended to help him reset before returning to competition.
Plans for the upcoming season
Instead of competing in Gstaad, Zverev is expected to resume his season at the Canada Masters in Toronto later in July. With major tournaments like Cincinnati and the US Open approaching, he aims to regain his form and focus on achieving his first Grand Slam title.
