"Baffled that he's still allowed to play": Alexander Zverev condemned by fans after assault fine
ATPWednesday, 01 November 2023 at 23:30
Fans
reacted against Alexander Zverev after being fined in Germany for bodily harm
to his former girlfriend and mother of his daughter, Brenda Patea.
The Berlin
prosecutor's office filed an application for a criminal order against the
former world No. 2 in early 2023, accusing him of violence against his
ex-girlfriend Brenda Patea, which resulted in physical injuries.
This is not
the only case involving Zverev in relation to violence, as his former
girlfriend Olya Sharypova also came forward in the media, alleging a similar
situation in which she had been a victim of mistreatment by the German.
As
reported, a district court in Berlin issued the judgment. His name does not
appear in the verdict, but it has been stated by the lawyers defending the
tennis player who maintain his innocence and aim to prove it in the trial they
consider necessary.

The law
firm Schertz Bergmann, representing the player, stated:
"The
procedure is scandalous, it cannot be a question of a fair, constitutional
procedure. Zverev will take action against this by any means available."
In
response, fans used social media to condemn Alexander Zverev for being involved
in cases of gender violence and even called on the ATP to take action against
the tennis player to prevent him from participating in the Tour.
“Alexander

girlfriend and fines totalling €450,000 by a German court. Zverev has objected
to the penalty order, meaning it will likely go to public trial.”
"We
all know he did it. Baffled that he’s still allowed to play on the tour,"
a fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Should have been in jail the wifebeater, just another example of a top level athlete getting away with abusing their girlfriends/wives, Mason Greenwood prime example . . .
All week we've seen fair and just criticism of the WTA, but it's about time we do the exact same (if not more) to the ATP. Not only have they let Zverev play on as if nothing is wrong for years, they continue to promote him at every chance - all while knowing exactly who he is.

A reminder that the ATP has a clause in which it can take actions against a player for bringing the sport into disrepute, something which other sports (certainly in Australia, though admittedly in team sports) have used for something as simple as a bad drunken night out.

Some ppl (namely @atptour) still don't get how big of a deal this is. Issuing him with a penalty order literally means that they are confident enough in their case to give him a way out with this deal. And he's still out here playing the tennis like nothing is happening. 🤷♀️

I know he won’t go to jail for this but he can at least serve a suspension ban from tennis? I’m not even asking for a permanent suspension either. At least some punishment for gods sake. We already have 2 cases against him.
