Just shortly before he was supposed to return to the tennis courts, Alexander Zverev experienced yet another setback after contracting COVID-19.

The Diriyiah Tennis Cup, which will take place in Saudi Arabia from December 8 to 10, has the German on the entry list as he was looking to gear up for the 2023 season. His participation, though, might be in question given recent events.

After testing positive for the coronavirus only a few days prior, Zverev was forced to postpone his appearance on the German television program Wetten Dass. Zverev expressed his regret for missing the ZDF broadcast via a video greeting, saying that his illness prevented him from being present.

"I would love to be with you, but unfortunately I tested positive four days ago. It's a shame, have fun," the German was quoted as saying by Eurosport Germany.
