The one who did not enjoy good luck was Daniel Felipe Martínez (Ineos Grenadiers), as he was one of the cyclists who was most affected in the massive fall and had to abandon the race.

Serb Novak Djokovic will play Spaniard Carlos Alcaras in the Wimbledon final. The match will take place on July 16, starting at 16:00 Moscow time. Alcaraz – Djokovic: predictionbet, odds, statistics.

Alcaraz

No matter how the upcoming match ends, we can already say that Carlos had a chic tournament, at the same time confirming that in the coming years he will regularly compete for trophies on any surface. And now only a few are capable of this.

Carlos Alcaraz

The Spaniard’s abilities were well known before, but we must admit that in recent matches he still managed to impress with his game and confidence.

In the semi-finals Alcaraz dealt with calmly Daniil Medvedev – 6:3, 6:3, 6:3. The Russian simply capitulated, despite the fact that in some games there really was a struggle.

In the third installment, the 20-year-old tennis player lost his serve several times, but immediately following that he made a reverse break. Only the closest rival of the first racket of the world can boast of such a cool game at the reception on the grass.

Before that, Alcaraz beat Matteo Berrettinia (3:6, 6:3, 6:3, 6:3) Holger Rune. And indicative here was the victory over the Italian, who, as you know, is also very strong on the grass. But here Berrettini stayed at the level in only one set.

Djokovic

The main legend of men’s tennis is now the record holder for the number of Grand Slam finals. For Novak, this will be the 35th decisive match in the Major.

And at Wimbledon, the Serbian reached the fifth final in a row. And this is at the age of 36, although it is already clear to everyone that age in his case does not matter.

“36 is the new 26,” said Djokovic following defeating Yannick Sinner in the semi-finals.

The Italian resisted well, but Nole still did not give up a set to his opponent – 6:3, 6:4, 7:6.

All tennis predictions

Yes, it was a tense match, but Djokovic, as usual, acted brilliantly in key moments.

In the third set, at 4-5, Novak left a double set point on his serve, following which he gestured to the stands, sarcastically wiping away tears. Of course, the audience wanted intrigue and the continuation of the match, but the record holder for the number of titles at the Slams had his own plan.

Forecast and rate

You can bet on Alcaraz in this match for 2.77Djokovic’s victory bookmakers offer for 1.56.

In early June, the entire tennis world was looking forward to the confrontation between Novak and Carlos in the Roland Garros semi-finals. As a result, it turned out that the Spaniard was not ready for battle – following the second set, his hands literally began to shake.

Despite the fact that Djokovic is almost twice as old as his opponent, he still remains the most resilient player on the ATP tour. The new generation, including Alcaraz, can only dream of it.

Of course, at least in one set (in the first or in the second) there will be a struggle, tension, but you should not count on a larger audience.

Djokovic will crush Alcaraz with experience, stamina, charisma and, of course, his incredible ability to play in such matches.

Rate — Djokovic’s victory with a forehand in sets (-1.5) for 2.00. Judging by his comments, the victory over the youth gives Novak a separate pleasure and became an additional motivation for him.

You can also consider a bet that Djokovic will lose the 1st set and win the match for 4.90.

Installing glucose sensors to lose weight… A practice that has been in vogue for several months on social networks and strongly denounced by people with diabetes, who need this type of device.

Glucose sensors are medical devices for diabetics

On his Instagram account, @coco_and_podie denounces this practice in a video : “a worrying “trend”, which disgusts us diabetics to the highest degree. It’s the surge of “wellness influencers” who ask themselves sensors without health problems. The neurosis of the “body positive” goes so far as to put on a device that thousands of patients would like to do without.

At the National Assembly, this issue was also addressed: “the promotion of medical devices and drugs not reimbursed by Social Security, such as continuous glucose sensors, used for personal comfort by certain influencers (fact) as well run the risk of a disruption of supply, believed in séance the parliamentarian Nathalie Bassire. Even though these products are essential to the health of people with diabetes.”

A law to limit this type of practice

The law which was promulgated on June 9 will perhaps curb this practice. It aims to regulate commercial influence and to fight once morest the excesses of influencers on social networks.

“The objective is to better fight once morest certain abuses and scams observed (incitement to dangerous diets, cosmetic surgery, excessive bets, promotion of counterfeits…)”, can we read on the government website. In the event of non-compliance with the law, influencers will risk a prison sentence, fines (up to 300,000 euros in certain cases) and a ban on practicing.

In France, more than 3.5 million people are treated with medication for diabetes, i.e. 5.3% of the population, according to Public health France. Type 2 diabetes is caused by improper use of insulin – a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels – by cells in the body, according to health insurance.

On the other hand, type 1 diabetes is due to an absence of insulin secretion by the pancreas and is generally present from childhood or adolescence. But whether it is one or the other, this disease is characterized by too high a level of sugar in the blood, hyperglycemia. Blood glucose sensors therefore make it possible to monitor the level of sugar in the blood and to inject insulin accordingly… A medical device therefore, which is not intended to make its users lose weight.
