“I need to be sensible, otherwise it could be dangerous for the future.” Zverev dropped from second to fifth in the latest ATP rankings published Monday after the US Open, which he was also forced to sit out. He has been diagnosed with a build-up of fluid in his ankle, exposing him to the risk of a fracture.

“We’re talking about weeks, and in all likelihood months” before a return to competition, said a despondent Zverev. His focus could shift to regaining full fitness for the Australian Open in January. Germany begin their Group B campaign against France on Wednesday. They face Belgium on Friday and play Australia on Sunday. The top two nations will advance to November’s knockout phase.
