Tennis star Alexander Zverev was beaten up for another violation of social distancing. After the debacle on the Adriatic Tour, he was celebrated with footage.
Australian star Nick Kyrgios took the lead again when he condemned his teammate’s bad behavior in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic.
“Again Sascha Zverev, man. Again – how selfish can you be? How selfish can you be?” Kyrgios said in a social media video.
“If you are bold enough to post a great tweet that your management wrote on your behalf, say that you will isolate yourself for 14 days and apologize to the public for putting your health is at risk, at least you have the audacity to stay in the house for 14 days. My God, you have your girlfriend with you for 14 days. Jesus, man.
“Annoys me, this tennis world makes me seriously angry. How selfish can you all be?”
WARNING: Offensive language
Zverev apologized for his role in the Novak Djokovic exhibition tournament, in which the world’s number 1, Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric and Viktor Troicki tested positive for COVID-19. A number of Entourage members, including Djokovic’s wife, also got coronavirus.
Kyrgios was pronounced after the event and branded “headless”. The Australian has questioned whether tennis should push for a resumption at all in the face of the pandemic, let alone with bacon fists.
Zverev was not infected, but expressed regret for being involved in the event, which showed social distancing with catastrophic consequences. The German was part of a group of players who celebrated shirtless during the Adriatic Tour.
It was apparently a hollow statement in the world No. 7. He was filmed while celebrating in an Instagram upload by the German fashion designer Philipp Plein.
Ben Rothenberg, a New York Times The tennis author struck Zverev, saying that his actions raised doubts about the return of tennis in the midst of COVID-19. The sport is set to return in August when the US Open begins.
“This is my concern when tennis is trying to come back in the middle of the pandemic: Not that no precautions can be taken, but that too many tennis players are conditioned to be wildly self-centered and have no idea how they are going for the bigger one A larger group should act with interest, “Rothenberg wrote on Twitter in response to Zverev’s footage.
“Philipp Plein has already cleared the frame of his instastory in which Zverev celebrated most clearly today. No matter how lazy, sloppy and selfish players are when they follow public health guidelines in the middle of the pandemic, they can act quickly, to cover her asses. ” “”
While Zverev celebrated, another Adria Tour player – Dominic Thiem, who tested negative – is already playing another exhibition event despite close contact with COVID-19 in Djokovic’s tournament. Thiem was another player who celebrated together with the infected Djokovic and Dimitrov in a night club.
The Austrian is currently part of the ultimate tennis showdown by top coach Patrick Mouratoglou in the south of France. He also has problems with the tennis media because he has chosen to travel and play instead of isolating himself.
Zverev is expected to play a Berlin tennis tournament in July.
One leg outdoors at the Steffi Graf Stadium can accommodate 1,000 spectators. 300 fans will be present in the other hall at Tempelhof Airport.
Many fans took part in events in Serbia and Croatia on the Adriatic Tour, which led to enormous setbacks for Djokovic and other participants even before the outbreak of COVID-19.
