Zverev and the diabetes
Sascha is also struggling with diabetes. The Alexander Zverev Foundation was established by the tennis player in August 2022 with the goal of “providing insulin and life-saving medicines to children in developing countries and those in need.”
The former World No. 2 revealed during the launch that he was given a diabetes diagnosis when he was just three years old. Additionally, he recently disclosed that he overcame all odds to become a successful athlete and that he wanted to inspire and uplift young children and their parents as a result.
“I was always told that I would never make it with diabetes. Different doctors, and different specialists said ‘competitive athlete with diabetes? That’s impossible.’ And then, at some point I thought to myself, I’m second in the world; I am Olympic champion; I can help others with this issue! I can encourage others. I can be the messenger for the topic diabetes,” said Zverev.
