I didn't know Sascha had Type 1 diabetes, that's amazing how far he has come in his career

As a type 1 diabetic who tried to play competitive tennis I can understand how hard it is for Sasha to perform at such a high level. He is nothing short of an hero

Zverev's speaking about having diabetes will definitely help kids who also suffer from diabetes to not set a limit for their accomplishments!

WOW! How amazing what he has achieved.

Huge respect for Sasha

I have more and more respect.for Sasha. The "LION ROARS" on the court and in life. ❤🎾

Diabetes can grip anyone. A world class athlete with a very risky condition. Good on him.

This guy is a true hero. I was shocked to learn that an athlete of his level was Type 1. He gives people hope.

So inspiring. I had no idea either, had only heard of an NBA player here or a football player there. I'm 2 decades older and have spent my life hiding in bathrooms to take my insulin, going too low or too high for fear of bothering people... So I can only admire his courage for coming out, and his generosity for contributing to raising awareness. Thanks to this great champion on behalf of all future generations afflicted by this chronic disease!

Little Sascha - so cute ! And the smile of the big one - so sweet ! 😄😘😘😘

my brother has a type 1 diabetes too and i could relate everything he said wow big respect

he is an inspiration for all of us 😊😊 I just knew that 😮😮😮 keep moving forward, zverev ❤

I Love Sascha and always have, he may have flaws like all of us do but i see greatness in him and i hope he sees it too.

This makes me believe he can make it around that injury and all the desappointements and comeback as strong as he was vs Nadal last year in the french peak zverev but maybe with more luck and a slam win , I hope he wins a slam to prove that limits only exists within the mind

Good for Zverev !! Keep up the good work.

God bless you young man! You are doing so much good for so many❤️

❤❤❤❤ my respect to Zverev!

So much respect Sasha. Never knew about your type 1 DM and your foundation. Best wishes for your career. You have it in you, just work on your inner dialogue. Change your demeanor. Ask Roger for help. You have come so far, don’t give up. Bless your parents for giving you this chance.❤ Sasha should oppose the late matches. Now I know why he expressed his concern about late match ending at 4 am at Acapulco last yr. This is not fair for any human being let alone a type 1 Diabetic with strenuous physical game. No wonder he lost the next match. I can totally relate what he is going through.

Much as I have always disliked Zverev, this is pretty awesome and makes me respect him more

Respect to Sasha Zverev ❤❤❤

Great story, great athlete, respect to Alexander for opening up like this. God, that terrible soundtrack on a constant loop, so unnecessary, so false. Just let these incredible people speak without trying to turn it into a cheap television drama.

I am hypoglycemic which has similarities to Type 1 Diabetes. I am also an athlete (Basketball). Thank goodness I am not diabetic however, as it is much worse according to what I know about it. Thanks Alexander for bringing awareness to this disease. Much success to you in all that you do. ;)

Hats off

who could ever think of Sasha! this confession is so intimate and inspiring at the same time . We just learn that even handsome successful ppl can actually bear this inside! I AM SURE this will help many others. Spassiba Sasha Viel Dank

Inspirational! Thanks, Sasha! From now on you're my favorite player!

This is awesome, I have 3 type 1 children... ❤️

God bless and your inspiration to all with the same illness.

Love n respect ❤

Respect ✊

love him, fun and cute and talented...

I like he said that beause is wood for everyone I love him ❤❤❤

that's beautiful!!!

Proud moment

he's a Champion.

Really appreciate this video, which gives out hope to several people and children who live with Type 1 Diabetes. Just one request - kindly do not use the words 'suffering from' Type 1 diabetes, as you have in the description. This gives out a very negative vibe, especially to impressionable kids who might read it. The only reason kids with Type 1 would 'suffer', would be if they had lack of insulin, testing supplies or healthcare. Type 1 per se is not what's making them 'suffer'. Kids with Type 1 can and ARE thriving with the condition...Alexander Zverev being a prime example of this. Thanks 🙏

Alexandar 💪❤️

My hat off to Zverev. I don't know why they say he cannot use his insulin during a break. Ridiculous!!! These people are ignorant.

Common Sascha you are real champion

A lot of people who either have Type 1 or know people closely who do (and follow tennis) this was already known for at least a few years.

Wow!

Already 26 wow

I'm a new fan 🙌 he's about to play Medvedev in Aussie Open 👍

Keeping it under control. Know what to eat and stay on your medication. Everything is about moderation and control.

Hmmmm... he might be another case where it's a good thing that he's told that he couldn't do something. Some people just find it as motivation to push themselves and prove the naysayers wrong. I still recall Federer's story where a coach told him, I think, that he couldn't be good, or wasn't talented. Something that irked him. What did Federer do? Everyday, practice hitting a thousand balls. Point is, sometimes it's a good thing to tell someone that they can't do something and similar. People can be motivated by something like that. It depends on how well you know the person, if you want to try such a tactic.

He's too good not to win a major in his career.

👍👍👍

Diabetes so difficult 😢my boyfriend died from this 😢at only 31😢

The inspirational music is too much lol. Should’ve just let him speak.

Alcaraz has type1 also

wonder when he’ll open up abt the domestic abuse

He was given HGH when he was a kid, contributing to his propensity for injuries.

Jesus loves you ❤

0:50 did he say there's a lot of gay footballers?!?

What is your nationally ? 💙💛

Chokeinitus

talk about the abuse!!!

"Probably the only thing we have in common" sounded like a low key dis

what's his chronic disease? beating women?

Only diabetes?

I believe his ex girlfriend

You are a legend Sascha... RESPECT!!!

Let’s talk about the illness of causing physical abuse to women.

Chronic disease of beating women?

Yes : you hide it very well Sascha ! I was shocked ! But the first shock about this kind of metabolic issue , it was when I read about the probable CAUSE , that triggers it ! Early childhood injections : too many vaccines before 3yo !!! 🤯🤔🧐💛💛💛

His chronic disease of what? Beating women? abusing girlfriends. Get a grip.
