He has enough with the rival he has this Monday, May 27, to think further, but at Alexander Zverev He is pursued by a judicial matter this week in which he should be focused only on tennis. If this Monday he faces Rafael Nadal…, a trial for sexist violence against him begins on Friday, which he hopes to continue at Roland Garros for that date.
In fact, Zverev stated that he will not have to go to any court and that it is not affecting him at all in his preparation for the Parisian Grand Slam. So much so that he was blunt when asked about the case: “It doesn’t affect me at all. I think in the German system. I believe in the truth too. I am certain that I know what I did and I know what I did not do. That’s what’s going to come out and I have to trust it. Everything else is out of my control. Not out of my control, but I’m not going to lose this procedure. “There is absolutely no chance.”
In that judicial act that will take place in Berlin, Zverev is tried for allegedly pushing and grabbing the neck of his ex-partner and mother of his son, Brenda Patea. An act for which the player was already punished by paying an amount close to half a million euros, but which he denied by rejecting the charges. Zverev was also in a similar situation, accused of gender violence, in 2021, but he did not go to court nor did the Tennis Players Association (ATP) find evidence to punish him.
«That’s why I can play calmly and I think my results are showing it. I think winning Rome is a great title too and, obviously, being here. And if all that were in my mind, I wouldn’t be playing the way I am,” Zverev continued before ending a question that scares the tournament organization and the ATP, because of everything they cannot control over it.
