It's probably a cold snap that can be explained by the current fall conditions, but Alexander Zverev has raised some concern after his loss to Sinner.

We had blamed his bad game on the stratospheric level of play of the young Italian prodigy since the start of the fortnight, but the seed had another explanation.

“No, I didn't have any particular problem but I was sick all night after the Cecchinato match.

I am sick.

I have trouble breathing and you can hear it.

I had a fever.

So I'm not at my best to put it that way.

And I think that had a certain impact on my match ”.

Emotions in remote assistance, in these times of Covid, so some colleagues are seeking to know more.

Except that the German can be a bit of a lard sometimes, and he doesn't have a short memory.

So when a journalist who knew him well asked him when was his last PCR test, he got blown away.

"I will not answer your question especially given what you have written about me over the past few months."

We will just know that he had a fever of 38 on Saturday evening, hoping that he had not started a cluster in the meantime.
