The ATP has received the findings of their independent safeguarding report which was commissioned earlier in the season and as part of this, an internal investigation has been opened on allegations concerning Alexander Zverev.
Zverev for the last 18 months has had domestic abuse allegations levied by his ex-girlfriend Olga Sharypova which the World No.4 has strenuosly denied.
The particular instance which the ATP are investigating relates to the Shanghai Masters which was part of an interview with Sharypova did with tennis journalist, Ben Rothenberg earlier this summer which prompted more prominent talk on the allegations.
Massimo Calvelli, ATP CEO said: “The allegations raised against Alexander Zverev are serious and we have a responsibility to address them. We hope our investigation will allow us to establish the facts and determine appropriate follow-up action. We understand Zverev welcomes our investigation and acknowledge that he has denied all allegations. We will also be monitoring any further legal developments following the preliminary injunction obtained by Zverev in the German Courts.”

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
