Zverev withdraws from Rotterdam

Alexander Zverev has withdrawn from the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam. The tournament shared the news on social media on Wednesday.

The 28-year-old last competed in Rotterdam in 2023, when he fell to Tallon Griekspoor in the second round. He's competed in the tournament six times previously.

"I find it incredibly unfortunate that I have to make this decision. At the ABN AMRO Open, I was already given a chance as a young player, and that's why I always enjoy returning," Zverev said. "However, given my history with my ankle, I have to prioritise my recovery and can't take any risks. I wish everyone in Rotterdam a wonderful week."

"Given his history, we would naturally have liked to see Alexander back on court, but we also understand his decision here. Everyone still remembers the images and the impact of his previous ankle injury,” Tournament director Richard Krajicek shared.

Zverev began his 2026 season at the United Cup before reaching the semi-finals at the Australian Open, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in five sets. He holds a 6-2 record this year, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.

The ABN AMRO Open runs from 9-16 February, with Top 10 players Alex de Minaur, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alexander Bublik among those in field.
