Mischa Zverev, older brother to World No 3 Alexander Zverev, has revealed that there is no timeline for return for his wounded sibling.

The former World No 25 said that ‘Sascha’ would be taking his recovery one day at a time.

Mischa has been a consistent presence in his brother’s career, both as a doubles partner and behind the scenes.

Alexander Zverev underwent surgery this week after a fall in the French Open semi-final.

Speaking on the Eurosport Germany podcast “Das Gelbe vom Ball”, Mischa said that his brother wanted to emulate the returns from injury of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

“We don’t want to plan now because when you say it’s going to be a month or two, you count every day and wonder if you’re going to make it or not,” Mischa Zverev said.

“You then have such a feeling of disappointment when you don’t make it.

“When we say, ‘Okay, this will take five or six months,’ you work towards it.

“That’s very, very far away.

“That’s why we said we’re not thinking about days, weeks or whatever.

“We just look at how the foot and the leg are doing, how Sascha feels physically.

“And then, of course, his play has to be right, because Sascha definitely doesn’t want to come back and not play well.

“Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer are the best examples.

“They come back and win Grand Slam tournaments – and that’s what Sascha wants to do.

“That means he will do everything to come back at one hundred percent and to be as strong as ever before.”
