"I shouldn't have played this game, I had a fever of 38," said
Alexander Zverev
after losing to
Jannik Sinner
in the round of 16 at Roland Garros.
The French Tennis Federation carried out the last German coronavirus test on the 29th and a day later the result was negative.
The sixth seed called for medical attention during the match and took a pill.
Zverev, who should have taken a new test this Sunday, before the meeting, did not want to answer at a press conference about the date of his last control.
He did admit to being "completely ill" after the third round match against Cecchinato.
The tournament organization said that Zverev did not consult with medical services before going on the court to meet Sinner.
"I can hardly breathe, as you can hear from my voice. I have a fever. There were 38 at night or in the afternoon," he said at a press conference.
Other signs
The French government guidelines indicate that a person with this body temperature must isolate himself for seven days and undergo a Covid-19 test.
There are more signs that accentuate the suspicion of a possible contagion.
Zverev participated before the US Open on the Adria Tour organized by
Novak Djokovic
, a playful event in which several players, including the Serbian, contracted the virus.
However, weeks later Zverev reached the final at the US Open.
It should be remembered that Roland Garros admits to having carried out around 3,000 checks.
This Sunday, two junior players tested positive and were removed from the table.
