It's shocking that a letter like this needs to be written in 2023 but I'm proud to work for a charity that speaks out when needed.
We've written an open letter to the French Tennis Federation, raising concerns about the treatment of Alex Zverev, who needed to inject insulin during a match at the French Open.
