Alexander Zverev, who underwent surgery on his right ankle during his semi-final against Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros 2022, has suffered a relapse in preparation for the Davis Cup and his return to the tennis court appears imminent.
A medical examination carried out by the German after the Grand Slam tournament in Paris revealed that he had torn three external ligaments in his right ankle, an injury that required surgery.
Oleksandr Zverev may miss another year from the tennis court
During the preparation for the Davis Cup matches (September 14-18), Sasha was injured again and needed help to leave the court in Hamburg: “It was very painful,” he explained.
This time, Zverev was diagnosed with bone swelling and could miss up to 12 months on the court, according to medical sources, including the US National Institutes of Health, according to WeLoveTennis.
If Alexander does not have another operation, Alexander may need 3 to 9 months to recover. Other sources say it may take 4 to 12 months to fully recover.
According to the NLM, if left untreated, bone swelling [Zverev’s current issue] resolved within 3-9 months. In any case, there are treatment strategies (conservative or surgical) that aim to reduce pain and healing time.
