Behind that facade of being serious and almost obsessed with a supreme goal, Alexander Zverev hides a sensitive human being concerned about the world's issues and committed to giving a voice to diabetes, a disease he has been suffering from since childhood and that has marked his personal and professional life. He spoke about all this in the preamble of the ATP 500 Acapulco 2026.

He is the star attraction of the tournament, has been committed to this event for years, and knows that he cannot confine his competitive intensity to Grand Slams only since he will only achieve his desired prize in these tournaments by performing at his best in other events. Alexander Zverev is prepared to try to assert his favorite status in the ATP 500 Acapulco 2026 and his words in a colloquium prior to the start of the event have been very inspiring.

The champion in 2021, the German is aware that he needs to rediscover his best level, and what better place to do it than the Mexican event, where he has experienced great moments. "It's spectacular how tennis is lived here, the passion of the fans. I feel that they are crazy about tennis, even more than I am," said Zverev, who talked at length about his Foundation, which aims to help children and families affected by diabetes, ensuring that their lives are not limited and raising awareness of the importance of sports in coping with the disease.

Zverev acknowledged wanting to be the first tennis player in history to win a Grand Slam while being diabetic

"Since childhood, I had to balance diabetes with sports. For many years, I preferred not to talk too much about the topic, but after my injury at Roland Garros, I had time to think and realized that it was important to help others through my example. Nothing lasts forever in life, not even tennis, so I am determined to fully enjoy what I do," commented the German.

It is widely known that his great ambition is to win a Grand Slam, and beyond sporting will and ambition, Alexander Zverev acknowledged that there is something more driving him to pursue that achievement. "Since childhood, diabetes did not prevent me from dreaming of being the first tennis player in history to win a Grand Slam with this disease," stated the German, who will seek a new title to add to his record in this ATP 500 Acapulco 2026, as well as getting closer once again to the top 3 of the ATP ranking, from which he has recently been displaced by Djokovic.
