Alexander Zverev was harassed by a spectator due to allegations of domestic violence during the men's individual award ceremony at the Australian Open Championship.
The second German seed lost two consecutive groups in front of the world's first seed, Yannik Senner in Melbourne.
While he was advancing to receive the runner -up Cup, one of the spectators shouted loudly: “Australia believes first and Brenda.”
The 27 -year -old was accused of violence by his ex -girlfriend, Olaya Charipova, in 2020, and with domestic violence in 2023 by Brenda Batea, from which he had a child.
Zverev has repeatedly denied the two groups, and the lawsuit filed by Battia stopped before the Berlin Court last year.
In response to a question after the harassment, Zverev said: “Good for her. I think she was the only one on the field that believed anything at that moment.”
“I think there are no more accusations. There have been no charges for nine months so far.
“I think I did everything I am, and I am not about to open this topic again.”
In October 2020, her ex -girlfriend, Charipova Zverev, was accused of violence and emotional abuse during their relationship. Zverev denied these allegations and said they were “unfounded.”
Charipova did not accuse, and an investigation by the Union of Professional Tennis players has reached a period of 15 months to the absence of “adequate evidence” to prove the allegations of Charipova and therefore Zverev did not face disciplinary measures.
In November 2023, a German court sentenced Zverev Baquba and a fine after accusing him of the physical abuse of his ex -girlfriend, Batea.
Zverev denied these allegations and made an objection to the matter, which led to a public trial.
The trial stopped in June 2024 after agreeing to a settlement between the defendant and the complainant.
“The decision is not a ruling, not a decision on guilt or innocence,” the court said at the time to the BBC Sport.
