Zverev is positive about his rehab process as he understands it will get him to where he needs to be. He explained:

It's not difficult at all, I'm also looking forward to this work a bit, it's something completely new. It's clear that I'd rather play the tournament in Hamburg or train on the tennis court, but it's the way it is now. You have to go through it; everyone has their own way and you have to go through it. That's part of what I have to do now, and maybe next year, I'll come back even stronger."
