Zverev refuses to discuss domestic violence accusations at Australian Open
Briefly

In the wake of his runner-up speech at the Australian Open, Alexander Zverev declared he would cease discussing the domestic violence allegations made against him. He made this statement after a woman protested in support of his alleged victims during his speech. Zverev has faced accusations from two former partners, which he continues to deny. An independent investigation did not lead to any ATP disciplinary action, and a subsequent court case ended in a settlement. Zverev expressed his desire to move on from the controversy, feeling he has addressed the allegations sufficiently.
Zverev stated, 'I think there are no more accusations. There haven't been for, what, nine months now. Good for her.' He aimed to move on from the topic.
During his podium speech after losing the Australian Open final, Zverev was heckled by a protester proclaiming support for his alleged victims, Olya and Brenda.
