Zverev hits another stumbling block in comeback, tests positive for COVID-19 before Saudi return

Alexander Zverev's return experienced another setback as the German tested positive for COVID-19 just weeks before his return in Saudi Arabia.

Zverev pushed back his return to late this year because of a bone oedema that caused him severe pain in September. He's back on the court practising regularly ahead of his scheduled return in Saudi Arabia but he's now dealing with another issue.

Zverev was scheduled to appear on the Wetten Das TV programme but was forced to cancel his appearance after testing positive for COVID-19. He announced it with a video:

"I would love to be with you, but unfortunately I tested positive four days ago. It's a shame, have fun."
