To be really annoyed at the Wimbledon commentator

who thought that Sascha Zverev was popping a blister on his finger, when he is known to be a type 1 diabetic and was clearly testing his blood sugar level.

I honestly couldn’t bring myself to care.

Not necessarily at the forefront of the commentators mind when wondering aloud what might be going on under pressure to fill the gap in play with commentary!

@Lmnop22
Seriously, with all the "woke" talk about inclusion etc.
However, I may be slightly sensitive about this as I have several friends, who are type 1 diabetic and 2 of them are dead thanks to this.

He might not know Zverev is diabetic and might have no idea about finger prick tests. It’s not something worth getting annoyed about.

I think you should be annoyed- how on earth did the commentator get their job without actually knowing something rather key about a player?

And why did they make something up about a blister ?

I bet you any money that it's Andrew Castle. He's such a bad commentator, and this time every year he trends on twitter because nobody likes him.
