World No. three Alexander Zaverev took out the court to vomit the mid-match, but recovered the Flavio Koboli of Italy at Halle Open to defeat 6-4 7-6 (8-6).

In the second game of his quarter-finals of the Grass-Cort tournament, Zerev requested toilet brake and escaped from court to get sick.

He looked visually unwell at his return and struggled in rallies for a long time, but as a match he became better and managed to shut down the world number 24 Coboli.

The 28 -year -old German said, “I felt well before the match. Then, from anywhere, I really felt bad. I was feeling bad. I was feeling sick, went to throw and then 15 minutes later I felt fine again.”

“I don’t know what it was, I had never experienced before. I hope I will be cured in the next few hours when adrenaline dwells.”

In the semi-finals, Zeverev will face Daniel Medvedev, whose match was slightly delayed on Friday when Russian saw a nose in the court.

Despite the need for a medical timeout in the second set, former World Number One hovered a 6–4 6-3 win over American Alex Micelsen, which to keep his preparation on the track for Wimbledon, to go before the onset of the Grass-Court Grand Slam with 10 days.

29 -year -old Medvedev said, “Chhaya in court made the conditions very difficult. It took some time to use it.”
