Zverev refuses to discuss domestic violence accusations at Australian Open Alexander Zverev says he will no longer discuss the accusations of domestic violence against him after he was heckled by an anti-domestic violence protester in the aftermath of his defeat to Jannik Sinner in the final of the Australian Open.
Last year, Zverev faced a public hearing after contesting the penalty order imposed on him by the Tiergarten district court in Berlin, in which prosecutors accused Zverev of physically harming and damaging the health of Patea, who is also the mother of their child.
After an independent investigation into Sharypova’s accusations, initiated by Lake Forest Group, the ATP took no disciplinary action against Zverev.
Zverev had been standing on the on-court podium to give his runner-up speech when a woman in the crowd shouted: “Australia believes Olya and Brenda,” three times.
Zverev has been accused of physical abuse by two former partners, Olya Sharypova and Brenda Patea.
