Alexander Zverev has withdrawn from the upcoming Swiss Open in Gstaad, a tournament on the ATP 250 circuit. The announcement came from the event organizers on Thursday. This news follows his early exit from Wimbledon, where he was defeated in the first round.
Zverev's Wimbledon match against Arthur Rinderknech was a grueling five-set contest. Following the loss, the German player shared with the media that he felt emotionally drained and was contemplating seeking therapy.
The organizers of the Swiss Open stated that Zverev's withdrawal was due to personal reasons. They also confirmed that the defending champion, Matteo Berrettini, would not be participating in the tournament due to an injury. Berrettini also experienced an unexpected first-round defeat at the recent Wimbledon Championships.

He can't afford to miss tournaments at this stage. Needs to build momentum.

Berrettini out too? The Swiss Open is looking thinner by the minute!

Needs to learn to deal with pressure, or he'll never reach his potential.

Personal reasons? Come on Zverev, we deserve a better explanation. Disappointing for the fans.

He'll be back stronger than ever. We know he's a great player.
