Zverev's Diabetes Battle Fuels US Open Triumph
15 Sep
Summary
- Alexander Zverev won his second Grand Slam title at the US Open.
- He manages Type 1 diabetes using a continuous glucose monitor.
- Zverev enjoys a luxury lifestyle, including expensive cars and watches.
Alexander Zverev recently claimed his second Grand Slam title by defeating Ben Shelton at the US Open. This significant achievement highlights his resilience, particularly as he has managed Type 1 diabetes since the age of four. Zverev now openly uses a continuous glucose monitor connected to his mobile phone during matches to track his blood sugar levels.
Away from the tennis court, the German star navigates a life of considerable luxury, reportedly amassing a £30million fortune. His high-end lifestyle includes being an ambassador for luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co. and owning an impressive car collection, notably a £2.2million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut. He also finds leisure in playing Mario Kart on his Nintendo Switch.
Zverev's personal life includes a relationship with German model Sophia Thomalla. Previously, his relationships with Olya Sharypova and Brenda Patea led to accusations of domestic assault and physical assault, respectively. While Zverev denied Sharypova's claims, leading to an ATP investigation finding insufficient evidence, a separate case with Patea resulted in a settlement after a court-ordered fine. He has a daughter, Mayla, with Patea.
