He claims it was just aches and pains basically, but I don't know whether I believe that. Him taking balls later on the second serve is probably just an adjustment to Zverev and the wind, but you don't change your service motion, ever, unless doing it properly hurts. Whether it's an elbow or a shoulder or whatever, it's got to be something. Best case scenario he pulled or tweaked something and a few days of rest and physio he'll be fine. But I doubt we've seen the last of months-plus long rest and recuperation breaks for Fed.
