ATP to investigate domestic abuse allegations against tennis star Alexander Zverev

The no.4 ranked men’s tennis player Alexander Zverev is in some hot water. Alexander Zverev is being accused of deomestic abuse by his ex-girlfriend, and the Association of Tennis Professionals has decided to open up an investigation into the matter.

“The allegations raised against Alexander Zverev are serious and we have a responsibility to address them,” said ATP CEO Massimo Calvelli.

“We hope our investigation will allow us to establish the facts and determine appropriate follow-up action. We understand Zverev welcomes our investigation and acknowledge that he has denied all allegations. We will also be monitoring any further legal developments following the preliminary injunction obtained by Zverev in the German Courts.”

The allegations against the 24-year old German stem from an incident in November 2020 where his former partner Olga Sharypova accused him of ongoing emotional abuse and separate incidents of physical abuse in an interview with Racquet Mag.
