Alexander Zverev is currently the most successful German tennis player. Now the Tiergarten district court has issued a penalty order against him. His ex-girlfriend accuses him of domestic violence. He denies that. The case will probably end up in court.
After two sentences it’s over. He takes off his hairband, grimaces briefly and looks up at the Parisian night sky. Alexander Zverev lost 6:7 and 4:6 against Stefano Tsitsipas on Thursday evening. This means he is eliminated in the round of 16 of the Masters.
An annoying defeat for Zverev, 26, but not a threatening one; He can still qualify for the ATP Finals in Turin. Things are becoming more threatening for him elsewhere, away from the pitch.
There is a lot at stake for the Olympic champion and most successful German tennis player since Boris Becker. It’s about alleged violence against his ex-girlfriend Brenda Pantea, 29, about a possible court hearing and a high fine. And it’s about his reputation.
