Frankfurt, Germany (AHN) - German tennis star Tommy Haas, forced out of last week's Stockholm Open due to swine flu, is reportedly on his way to recovery after a bout with the virus.
The 17th-ranked player from Germany, bedridden for three days, indicated in the reports that his recovery can be attributed to his good physical condition.
Haas, 31, initially thought it was normal flu, but got confirmation that he contracted the H1N1 virus after tests in Munich.
Wimbledon semifinalist Haas also withdrew from this week's big indoor tournament in Basel, which is headed by world No. 1 Roger Federer.
Haas, owner of 12 career titles on the ATP World Tour, is not expected to play at next week's Masters tournament in Paris.
