LONDON (AP) — Alexander Zverev has more than just defending champion Jannik Sinner to deal with on Sunday in the Wimbledon final.
The 29-year-old German has Type 1 diabetes, which requires him to monitor his glucose levels and, if needed, inject insulin during matches.
Zverev, who won the French Open and is seeking back-to-back Grand Slam ****** les, uses an insulin pen when needed to jab the top of his thigh during changeovers on court.
Here's some more information about Zverev and the disease.
Zverev disclosed in 2022 that he has Type 1 diabetes, having been diagnosed at age 4. He had previously kept it quiet. If he needed an insulin jab during a match, he'd do it privately during bathroom breaks.
