Alexander Zverev battles illness in Hamburg defeat: he threw up 37 times before the match.

He said the following about this.

“For the fact that I threw up 37 times and had a fever of 39.4 degrees all night, that’s actually quite okay. I think there are two players in the whole world who would have taken to the court today. I’m one of them. And I’m really proud of that.”

.. he's proud!? He's proud of being a  masochist I guess.. this is masochism in the sense that masochism refers to the enjoyment of experiencing pain. Maybe its even more than masochism because he tends to embrace sickness as well as pain. Thats some serious weirdness. You gotta admit to embrace pain and sickness and to actually be proud of it is weirder than the weirdest of sex stuff..its just not natural and actually a person like that should be on suicide watch..

...I mean a person who is proud of pain and illness could very well be considered suicidal to some degree. They certainly aren't taking aims to preserve their well being or preserve their very atoms from not withering and succumbing to disease or illness. Its pretty creepy to not have an inherent aversion to pain or illness in my book. One has to ask themselves is a person like that safe to be around others? To me That's pretty scary to be around a sick animal.

I certainly couldn't handle being around a sick person like that. I'd freak out! I guess that's why I wisely wear a mask! I prefer the euphoric sense of pleasure I get from being healthy.. I am hedonist in the sense I prefer pleasure and don't prefer pain nor do I like the feeling of nausea or feverishness which is probably the number one reason I mask!

I can't believe that guy
"threw up 37 times"! I can't stand being sick to my stomach .. "37 times"?! That's just messed up in the body and the head. Anybody that throws up 37 times is usually just happy to be alive if they survive that.. there's just no way ..37 times in what time frame!? that's beyond crazy.

There's just no reason or justification for such suicidal behavior.. I mean if somebody was sick and they somehow saved 50 lives while they were sick I guess you could call that heroism but a sick person just stands to make others sick so its pretty unrealistic for a person to endure pain and agony and even possibly death due to overexertion just for tennis game. Its not like he threw his body on top of an exploding grenade to save his troop or anything...It just doesn't prove much and he's just "trying to hard" its not impressive behavior..its alarming behavior to say the least.

37 times is more than a lot.. after awhile one actually dehydrates and simply doesn't have anything to throw up. I guess he was dry gagging after awhile. To simply stay alive you'd almost have to have an IV needle stuck in your arm to stay hydrated after 37 throw ups! He might be not even be telling the truth because most people wouldn't be standing after that... It's certainly nothing to brag about. He should be telling a doctor about it not sports spectators  ...to throw up that many times is well beyond the recommended amount of vomiting it takes to go to hospital.

Alan Jackson, 66, Makes Heartbreaking Announcement Amid Serious Health Battle
The country legend shared a devastating announcement at his final tour stop — with one glimmer of hope.

Michelle McGahan Updated:May 18, 2025

Jackson, 66, has been battling Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease for years, an inheritable disease that causes "lifelong progressive muscle weakness and atrophy of the arms and legs," per the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association website.

"Nine days after Alan Jackson performed at the 2025 ACMs — a set that garnered the country legend a standing ovation — the singer announced at his Friday, May 17 Milwaukee tour stop that the concert was "last road show of my career." The 66-year-old country mainstay, who has been battling health issues for years, made it clear he will no longer tour again — but he will perform one final show in Nashville.

https://www.ksnt.com/news/kansas/this-is-just-a-bump-in-the-road-kansas-band-member-ronnie-platt-reveals-cancer-diagnosis/

A member of the rock band KANSAS is opening up publicly about his recent cancer diagnosis.

KANSAS announced on social media on Thursday, Feb. 20 that Ronnie Platt, who plays the keyboard and acts as a vocalist in the band, has thyroid cancer.
“I met with my doctor today and found out I have surgery scheduled for March 4,” Platt said. “So far, the prognosis has been very good. I’m looking forward to getting this behind me and being back in the saddle as soon as possible. I appreciate the outpouring of support I’ve been receiving. Thank you.”


Here's Masked Man's
safe stay at home remote online performance and Musical Tribute to Ronnie Platt of Kansas!

We wish you success in your recovery process Ronnie! What a band! what craft!..What a life! Amazing songs like no other.
I can't do justice to Kansas's songs so if anyone else who is a masker can do better please do so anyway I'm out of my league here and probably out of range but I'll go out on a limb and make a fool of myself for Kansas just the same and try to sing some high range falsetto and I'll put together a chorus quadrupling my voice something I'm probably not good at ..here goes nothing...

Masked Man's Chopping Wood and Building a Fire Music Video

I make this video to show off my mask skills and to show a masked man or masked woman can do anything they set their minds to! To say I am supportive of masks and support others who mask would be an understatement. I fully support and encourage the use of the safety mask for all sort of reasons!

Masked Man chops wood and builds a fire and sings "Thank God I'm  a Country Boy" by John Denver, "Light my Fire" by The Doors, and "When You're Hot You're Hot" by Jerry Reed in this Music Video

The Masked Man

P.S.
Lemme tell ya something Iv'e discovered man, I stacked firewood all day and when I take my mask off I have to clean it because of all the wood dust that starts to get caked in it. Glad I don't breathe junk in nowadays because of my mask. The mask not only protects me from airborne illnesses and diseases it also protects my lungs from wood dust and all sorts of occupational hazards, allergens and nature's hazardous stuff too such as small debris when the dirt flies while I work!

Underneath my  bandanna is my mask/ respirator and it has a valve to freely exhale from for prolonged use and appropriate cartridges to filter out covid, airborne diseases, many viruses, as well as dangerous particles from occupational hazards as well as even preventing allergens. As usual these videos are created solely to encourage people and inspire people who wear the safety mask. In all the time Ive worn my mask for over five years strait now outside my home I haven't caught covid, strep, whooping cough, bird flu, influenza, RSV, or even so much as a cold and it helps reduce allergies and many contaminants from occupational hazards.

Serious difficulty breathing and inflammation of the lining of the lungs may result from inhaling urushiol."
