German star Haas recovering from swine flu
(11-03 19:21)
Tommy Haas, Germany's top-ranked tennis player, is doing better after contracting swine flu.
Haas, pictured, told the Bild newspaper he had himself tested last week after developing flu symptoms that forced him to pull out of a tournament in Stockholm.
The 31-year-old, who is ranked No 17 in the world, says he was "shocked'' to find out he had swine flu, but was relieved he could recover quickly because of his good physical condition.
He has pulled out of this week's Swiss Indoors and is unlikely to play next week at the Paris Masters.
German gymnast Philipp Boy and handball player Dominik Klein have also had swine flu.
