Zverev's Diabetes Scare at Halle Open
Sensor malfunction forces mid-match sugar rush, raising Wimbledon concerns.
Alexander Zverev's Halle Open semifinal loss to Taylor Fritz took a dramatic turn when a faulty glucose sensor forced him to overcorrect with insulin and consume 350g of sugar mid-match. The German tennis star, already struggling with back issues, described the episode as 'horrible' but insisted it won't affect his Wimbledon preparations. The incident occurred on June 22, 2024, during the Halle Open semifinal, where Zverev lost to Fritz in three sets: 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-4.
