Tennis star Alexander Zverev will not deal with any disciplinary action after an examination discovered there was “insufficient evidence” to validate domestic abuse claims made versus him, the Association of Tennis Professionals revealed Tuesday.
“Based on a lack of reliable evidence and eyewitness reports,” the ATP stated in a declaration launched on Tuesday, “in addition to conflicting statements by Sharypova, Zverev, and other interviewees, the investigation was unable to substantiate the allegations of abuse, or determine that violations of ATP’s On-Site Offenses or Player Major Offenses rules took place.”
The ATP continued … “As a result, no disciplinary action against Zverev will be taken by ATP. This determination may however be reevaluated should new evidence come to light, or should any legal proceedings reveal violations of ATP rules.”
In 2021, the ATP introduced an examination versus Zverev, 25, after his ex-girlfriend, Olga Sharypova, implicated him of mentally and physically abusing her while they remained in a romantic relationship.
