Justice has prevailed, says Alexander Zverev after ATP finds insufficient evidence of domestic abuse

Alexander Zverev

Alexander Zverev said "justice has prevailed" after tennis chiefs announced Tuesday there was "insufficient evidence" to substantiate allegations of domestic abuse against the German former world number two.

The 25-year-old became the subject of an ATP-commissioned probe in October 2021 following allegations made by his former girlfriend, Olya Sharypova.

But the ATP, which runs the men's tour, said the results of the investigation meant it would not be taking disciplinary action.
Zverev, whose 2022 season ended when he tore ankle ligaments at the French Open, said he had denied the "baseless allegations" from the start and would now focus on his career.

"This decision marks a third, neutral, third-party arbiter who has reviewed all relevant information and made a clear and informed decision on this matter in my favour," he said in a statement.

"In addition to the ATP's independent investigation, I have also initiated court proceedings in Germany and Russia, both of which I have won."
