Bad news for the world of tennis. Alexander Zverev has revealed that he is suffering from pneumonia, which prompted him to withdraw from the ATP Beijing 2024 just after the conclusion of the last Laver Cup 2024. It's a significant setback for Sascha, who had his sights set on finishing among the top two of the year, and even approaching the number one spot currently held by Jannik Sinner. "Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with pneumonia, which explains my physical struggles in recent months. I need to take care of my health to get back to competing as soon as possible", the German stated when explaining his condition. A very tough blow for Zverev, who was supposed to face the Shanghai Masters 1000 as his next commitment.
