Male players rarely withdraw from the competition together! Zverev participated in the Hamburg match and was ridiculed by foreign fans

Sinner and several other players also chose to skip the event after Tsitsipas and Koda unexpectedly withdrew from the Hamburg Open. The four final four players of the Italian Open last week - Sina, Musetti, Paul and Alcaras will not go to Germany to participate, and Rooney and Mededovic have also confirmed their withdrawal.

The withdrawal of these players provided Zverev with a wild card, and he will become the number one seed in the home game, with the young American player Tiafu ranked 16th in the world and the number two seed, while the number 17th in the world Lublev ranked 3rd seed. Currently, all players in the world ranked 3 to 15 will miss this ATP 500 event. Among the top 15 players in the world currently ranked, Fritz and Djokovic are still participating, who will compete in the Geneva Open at ATP 250 in the same week. Fritz is the number one seed, and Djokovic is the number two seed.

Sina and Alcalas chose not to play the Hamburg Open. The two played extremely high in the Italian Open this week, and they obviously think their form is enough to deal with the upcoming second Grand Slam event, the French Open.

Sina was forced to suspend the game for 90 days due to drug tests this year, but his performance in Rome shows that he has fully recovered. He easily defeated Rude, who was in good shape 6-0 6-1 in the quarter-finals, a game that was regarded as one of the most exciting performances of his career. Rud even described Sina's performance like this: "To be honest, although I lost so badly, it's actually a bit fun. When you look at this person, you can only say, 'Wow, this is really at the same level.' I don't know how to describe it. Of course, I also hope the game can be closer."

Alcalas also believes that he is in good shape in the clay, so it is reasonable to choose to rest. He had previously won the Monte Carlo Masters and reached the final in Barcelona, ​​showing good form at the Italian Open, beating the world No. 1 Sina to win the championship in the final.

Zverev unexpectedly participated in the Hamburg Open as a wild card, and fans responded to this. Although fans had already complained about the schedule of the Hamburg Open, they had a more straightforward reaction to Zverev's sudden participation. A netizen reviewed Zverev's past remarks and joked: "Zverev said not long ago that participating in the competition a week before the Grand Slam is a fool...."

Another fan said: "It is expected that the top player withdraws from the competition, but it is really strange to see Tiafu become the second seed of the clay ATP 500 Haha (if Zverev hadn't participated in the last minute, he would have been the No. 1 seed).

Some fans commented without hesitation: "Go to play ATP before the Grand Slam." The 500th match is one of the stupidest things Zverev can do. But he is not known for being 'smart'. "Some netizens also teased his luck this season: "If Zverev wins the championship here, he really has the funniest season. He played poorly 80% of the time, but he can still get points with two 'water' 500-game draws and good Australian Open signings."

This year will be Zverev's eighth time playing in the Hamburg Open. He has entered the final twice - won the championship in 2023 and ranked second in 2024. He almost achieved his title defense last year, but was defeated by French star Fez 3-6 6-3 6(1)-7 in the final and missed the championship. (Source: Tennis House Author: Spark)
