Alexander Zverev is living on needles for the last 25 years...taking Insulin everyday since age 4.
Today at 29, he became a TWO TIME GRAND SLAM CHAMPION.
Huge Inspiration to children with diabetes. He runs a foundation for the same 👏
Esas 50 derrotas ante Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, Murray, Alcaraz, Del Potro y Sinner...
Esos 15 años de frustraciones y de ser el primero de los perdedores...
Esos interminables pinchanzos de insulina entre juego y juego...
Admito que estoy feliz por Alexander Zverev...

Carlos Alcaraz in his post-match media huddle:
"It was close. So I'm not going to be disappointed about [not] getting the win at the end. I'm just happy. I'm just proud about myself, about how I fought.
After the third set, physically I was really tired, but I found a way to push myself up. In the fifth set I just started to feel better and better, but...he is a beast. Shelton is an unbelievable player, powerful. He just managed how to play really, really well in every situation, so credit to him.
But I leave the court happy. I leave the court with a smile, healthy, and this is what I needed."
