Alexander Zverev Triumphs in Shanghai Despite Lung Issues

The German tennis star advances to the third round, overcoming health challenges that have sidelined him recently.

Zverev, dealing with a lung infection, won his opening match at the Shanghai Masters against Italy's Mattia Bellucci.
He had previously skipped the Beijing tournament due to his health condition, which he expects to persist for several months.
Despite a lack of training and ongoing symptoms, Zverev expressed satisfaction with his performance and tennis level.
Doctors have assured him that playing tennis will not worsen his lung condition, allowing him to compete safely.
His next opponent will be determined between Jordan Thompson of Australia and Tallon Griekspoor from the Netherlands.
