Concerns about tennis superstar Alexander Zverev. As the German confessed at the ATP Finals in Turin, he had been struggling with health problems in the summer.

"I went to hospital before the Laver Cup in Berlin in September. I had a fever of 40 degrees for three days and felt like I couldn't breathe. Twenty-five percent of my lungs weren't working," revealed the 27-year-old after his two-set victory over Russia's Andrey Rublev on Monday.

"It takes time"
Since then, Zverev has traveled to Shanghai, Vienna and then to the Masters tournament in Paris, which he crowned with the title. However, the Hamburg-born player has not yet cured his ailments: "The lung problems will keep me busy for a while yet. It will take time until they are completely cured."

Before Zverev takes a breather in the Maldives, he will be chasing his third title at the ATP Finals in Turin. He already took home the trophy in 2018 and 2021.
