Alexander Zverev He will not keep good memories of the Australia Open 2025 beyond having made a great tournament that led him to the decisive match. The German, after losing in runs with Jannik Sinnernot only became the sixth tennis player who loses his first three Grand Slam finals – behind Andre Agassi, Goran Ivanisevic, Andy Murray, Dominic Thiem and Casper Ruud – but, to complete the abuse, he had to cross an uncomfortable moment during the awards ceremony.
Before taking the floor after receiving the tray reserved for the runner -up, from one of the stands of Rod Laver Arena there was a sound interruption. “Australia believes that in Olya and Brenda! Australia believes that in Olya and Brenda!”a woman shouted in reference to the stories of two ex -partners of the number two of the world ranking who long ago denounced him for gender violence.

Olaya is Olya Sharypova and Brenda is Brenda Pateawith whom Zverev has a daughter in common. The two were his partners and both accused him of ill -treatment. The two cases met in 2020. Sharypova, also a tennis player, denounced on his Instagram account that the tennis player born in Hamburg had hit her on the face and that he had put a pillow on the face that prevented him from breathing for a few seconds.
Later, the Russian model gave an interview giving other details of her stormy relationship. I just want to know the truth and help other people who are in the same situation and need strength to survive. The first time he hit me was in Monaco. We had argued and hit me against the wall, “said the woman who had a relationship of just over a year with Zverev between 2018 and 2019.
Sharypova never made the complaint to the police. There was, however, an internal investigation of the ATP that closed without disciplinary measures for the German since the sayings could not be verified.
Patea’s case, on the other hand, if it went to justice. He accused him of having pushed her against the wall and strangling her in a department in Berlin during a discussion in May 2020. The case was closed in June 2024 with an extrajudicial agreement according to which Zverev promised to pay a fine of 200,000 euros to Patea.
The tennis player claimed that both, when the event occurred-a 2020 mane-they got “well” and blamed her “repeatedly” to “live a life jet-set”.
Zverev’s defense affirmed the existence of photographs, videos and statements of witnesses of the days after the alleged attack of Zverev against his then sentimental partner, Brenda Patea, who show “clearly that no injuries were seen and that the couple got along well and He went out to dinner with his mother in Hamburg in a good mood. “
“For my part, I completely reject the accusations. My lawyers are taking care of the matter and I will say anything else about it, ”said the tennis player in July 2024, when the opening of the judicial procedure occurred.
What did Zverev say after the accusing cry in Melbourne Park?
Zverev did not dodged the theme at the press conference after his defeat in the Australian Open final. He stressed that he thinks that there have been no more accusations in the last nine months and that he will not open the issue of his alleged involvement in cases of domestic violence.
“I think there are no more accusations, we have been nine months.
The German also had to answer another question about a delicate topic, such as the alleged positive in an anti -doping control of Sinner, his executioner in the final.
“I don’t know anything about the situation he is in. I know he has come out as innocent in the first verdict. I know they are still looking at him. He is a great boy, I have nothing against him. I don’t know what is going to happen. The truth is that this question did not expect, I don’t know what to answer, “said a surprised Zverev.
