[@labynoe]

The first ex-GF (Olga Sharypova) who accused Zverev of domestic violence gave a detailed account that was corroborated by several witnesses AND she never sought to get any money nor did she want Zverev prosecuted. She just wanted her story to be told about how he treated her and the negative effects it had on her life. So when a second ex-GF tells the same story, it certainly isn't a good look for Zverev, especially when you see how menacing he has acted to officials on the tennis court. It will look even worse if a 3rd woman comes forward claiming domestic abuse. At a minimum, Zverev has a serious anger management problem which he should address and overcome.

And after all that, when those guys are either retiring or dropping their level, they get the likes of Alcaraz and Sinner. I am a Medvedev fan but I've always wanted to see the 3 of them and Rublev (I know, I know, cue the QF curse comments incoming) win many Slams but at this stage it doesn't look good for them.

First video of yours I’ve seen, and it is very good. Just subscribed. As a player, I think very highly of Sasha. I think he’s one of the best players in the world and has the potential to get to #1 every now and then if he starts winning slams, which in my view, if he can get over all of the times he’s come so close, but lose, he inevitably will eventually. As a human being, I disliked him long before I knew about the spousal/girlfriend abuse accusations because I saw him lose it to such an extent at umpires and others at these events. I have a feeling that the diabetes contributes to this too, because there’s no question it can impact your mood if your blood sugar is too high or too low. But at the end of the day, that still doesn’t excuse it. So, overall, regardless of what happened with the abuse case, I don’t like him much. But I do respect his game.

His behaviour on court is at times indefensible, but not unheard of and isn’t anything we haven’t seen with other players, and can be interpreted as him showing his passion. I respect him as a consistently high level tennis player, and for what he has to deal with on a medical level. However, I feel uncomfortable supporting him because of these allegations. That isn’t me disbelieving the justice system, just from a morality standpoint for me that I can’t cheer for anyone with even a faint question mark around something like domestic violence, especially when it’s come from two women separately.

Gotta say, it's alarming how tennis fans use the situation to make cheap jokes about abuse (any reference with hitting, choking, ...). And it's alarming that so few people value the principal of innocent until proven guilty. That's like one of the most fundamental backbones of a society. Imagine ruining someones life for a cheap joke on the off-chance that you are wrong. Also, so many people got the "dropping the case/settlement" part wrong. Zverev didn't settle in the sense that he paid Patea money (she didn't get any). Patea wanted the charges dropped after day 3 of trials after evidence against her was brought up, to keep face. It's normal in Germany that the one initiating the trial (Zverev) has to pay some money to the court to compensate the public for not having a verdict. All charges are dropped, including the initial penal order, meaning he's officially innocent and can't be prosecuted for this alleged crime ever again. I'm all for believing alleged victims when they first come out, but when it turns out there's nothing to their story, you should refrain from calling people abuser. And no, smahsing your racket doesn't make you an abuser. It's mad how people jump to that conclusion.

Sascha should have been next Federer marketing wise with the way he speaks, looks and etc. With his career start, Big 3 support, it was no brainer back then. Funny enough, all those baseless allegations came out when he dropped his agent. Yet, he is T1D Olympic Champion and still standing tall! More to come!

He is the real victim in this shitshow!!! At the end his exgirlfriend could extract some millions from him. Smart Golddiggamove! Nowadays a man is hopeless once there is such an allegation. Whether it is true or not. By the way, (in the Western world there is more violence towards men in a relationship) most of them never defend themself since they know what happens if.... so hard times to be a man in a relationship nowadays

[@ramonschmidt6661]

13:11 you seriously forgot to mark the important sentence my man. It says „Alexander Zverev is considered innocent“, lower on the page. That is how the judicial system works and that is what he meant when he said that he is innocent. Disingenuous of you to mark only the top sentence.

[@jaimed.9154]

he settled. there was no veredict. therefore he wasnt decared guilty, but he was not declared innocent either. Dont lie. Also you can cleqrly see that those paragraphs were written by his lawyers and is not a legal doc. DONT LIE

[@ramonschmidt6661]

@@jaimed.9154 that’s the definition of innocent, not only in the german judicial system, but also in any other western judicial system.

Im not gonna get into his DV case because it’s not that related to tennis, but on court, he’s a weird one. He just doesn’t get the job done in the grand slams, yet we see in other tournaments that he’s good.

[@KaptainK59]

Amazing video. I don't like Zverev, but he dies not have to be proven innocent. He is innocent until proven guilty. The fact that she did not receive anything and he got joint custody speaks volume. Leave the guy alone. ATP is not a court of justice, they should not do anything about it. Finally, former girlfriends of pro athletes have huge incentive to accuse like this. Not saying she lied, but it is clearly a possibility

[@Shreyan]

Genuinely apologize to sharapova and the German baby mama. Be humble. Then improve on second serves, volleys. That’ll get him a slam.

[@GhostofGerulaitis]

I just don't like Zverev's game. As you said, he's passive and doesn't take risks; he's a glorified pusher. But my main critique is this: Alexander Zverev is one of the most boring players on tour. I avoid his matches because his style makes his opponents boring, too. I literally can't remember a match involving Zverev that was interesting. He's a black hole for inspiration. (I'm going to skip over the domestic abuse allegations because I have almost no faith in western legal system to justly address this issue. Rich men routinely escape consequences.)

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

Thanks, the us open final vs thiem it's a proof of that, theres something on his game that it's effective for sure, but annoying and boring to watch, specially his fh, and not a Big fan of his old man grunt either

I have been saying this since that us open 2020 but for me zverev will never win a slam ! I know as explained in this very good video that he has improved a lot ( serve especially ) but under huge pressure he always fails to win ! he doesnt have that killer instinct ! like he is too passive when he is stress and never never wins those tight matches in late stages of slams!

[@chuckfriebe843]

I'll tell you what he didn't do. He didn't hit a lines person in the face with a tennis ball and get defaulted from a Grand Slam event. Let's see, who did that? So, if Djokovic did that, he must be a domestic abuser as well, if I understand all the comments on here correctly, right? One thing does not prove another thing, unless there is SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE in a court of law. That's why we have a legal system.

[@jonoprill]

I think if he spent more time putting his hands on his racquet rather than his spouse he’d be a great player. Rooting for him!

[@FIRSTWORLDSTATUSBY]

did you live with him? - you are assuming guilt... why?

[@opioneer33]

I found the allegations extremely credible and I think he’s a menace. His arrogance is grotesque. The fact he said he never wanted to hear about the charges again because he’d been exonerated in Berlin when he hadn’t been, at all, sort of suggests he’s hoping no one will do a deep dive into the German legal system which is what I was hoping this video would be. Sporting bodies need to police the behaviour of star athletes and tennis has failed spectacularly in this regard.

But reading left to right, you can see how he's done in each tournament starting in 2014, he's played for 10 years. I see 2 finals, US Open 2020 where he threw away a 2-0 set lead to Dominic Thiem (let me guess, it was the because of a bad call by the umpire excuse). And as we know he lost to Alcaraz at the French Open being up 2 sets to 1. So that would be why, as I go by his results in the slams as we are talking about whether he can win a slam. It really doesn't matter how he does in the other tournaments that are all out of 3 sets. But if we do look at the results you put down for this year, I have to say that I love the excuses about it being a very tough draw, or my absolute favorite was very cold conditions (as if no one else was affected by these conditions. And yes this years results have been quite good, but far from exceptional. But again, when making a prediction on whether or not he can win a slam title, the only tournaments that matter are in fact the slam tournaments

I see two finals out of all those times. The one we just saw with Alcaraz where he was up 2 sets to 1. And then he was up 2 sets to nothing and blew that to Dominic Thiem at the 2020 US open (let me guess the referee made him lose the match excuse). So maybe the better way of putting it is that he folds under pressure. Now you present what he's done this year. The first problem is that we are talking about whether or not he can win a slam, and therefore the only matches that truly matter are the slam ones as they are the best of 5 sets. Even if we were to look at this years results they are very good but they aren't exceptional. I think the real funny thing are your excuses stating that it was a very tough draw, but my favorite excuse was where you listed very cold conditions. Um isn't the opponent also dealing with this very cold condition, or is Zverev wearing an ice pack during the match. In the end, one just needs to look at his record in the slams. Though admirable that he's made multiple SF's, going by results and the fact that he folds under pressure, I honestly don't think he'll ever win a slam. Doesn't mean I'm right, we won't know that until he retires, but I don't see it happening
