Zverev’s Australian Open semifinal run draws attention on and off the courts

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — Alexander Zverev’s run to a second Australian Open semifinal has drawn attention to his business in other courts. That move came five months after the ATP said there was “insufficient evidence” to substantiate allegations of domestic abuse against Zverev made by another former girlfriend. The ATP began investigating from October 2021 after Zverev’s former girlfriend, Olya Sharypova, accused the 2020 U.S. Open runner-up of abuse. At the suggestion that there were question marks over his judgement, he responded: “There isn’t.” He said he believed he had the confidence of the other players, who nominated him for the panel, and added: “I don’t have a reason not to believe that.” When it was posed to him that people were questioning whether he should be even allowed to play in the tournament, Zverev turned it back on the media.
