Germany's Tommy Haas, a Wimbledon semi-finalist this year, is recovering from the H1N1 flu virus that forced him to pull out of last month's Stockholm event.

"I did the test because I suspected I had swine flu. The test came out positive and naturally I was shocked," the world number 17 told Bild newspaper on Wednesday.

Haas said the illness forced him to stay in his hotel room for three days with fever and chills.

"These were three very bad days. I did a test again today and I hope that by now the symptoms are out of my body so I can slowly start training again."
