Overview
- Zverev, fresh from a first Grand Slam title at Roland‑Garros and a run to the Wimbledon final, opened the North American hard‑court swing in Montreal as the tournament’s top seed after several rival withdrawals.
- Tournament organisers confirmed he will play the reworked US Open mixed event with American doubles specialist Taylor Townsend, a pairing announced publicly in early August.
- He has publicly described how he manages long‑standing Type‑1 diabetes, including a reported match hypoglycaemia caused by a faulty continuous glucose monitor that showed false high readings.
- Zverev detailed the high cost of running a top professional setup, saying his team, travel and living expenses run into the high seven figures to several million euros per year, and he uses his foundation to distribute insulin and test strips to about 1,200 children a year.
- His immediate preparation combined a short holiday with partner Sophia Thomalla and training at the Rafa Nadal Academy with Rafael Nadal and coach Toni Nadal, while his father resumes coaching duties for tournament play as he moves toward Cincinnati and then New York.
