Zverev, Berrettini Withdraw from Gstaad ATP 250 Tournament

Alexander Zverev, the German world number three tennis player, has withdrawn from the ATP 250 Swiss Open in Gstaad due to personal reasons following a first-round exit at Wimbledon. After losing a five-set match to Arthur Rinderknech, Zverev expressed feelings of emptiness and considered seeking therapy to address mental health challenges he is facing. The Swiss Open organizers confirmed his withdrawal and also noted that defending champion Matteo Berrettini will miss the event due to injury, both players having suffered early Wimbledon exits. Zverev is expected to take a break from tennis to focus on recovery and aims to return at the end of July during the Masters event in Toronto. His decision to skip Gstaad suggests he is prioritizing preparation for the upcoming American hard court tournaments. The absence of both top players will significantly impact the tournament's competitive landscape.
