Alexander Zverev has released a statement after the ATP's decision to open an independent investigation into domestic abuse allegations relating to his ex-girlfriend Olya Sharypova at the Shanghai Masters in 2019.
Zverev continues to vehemetly deny the allegations and said as much in his statement as well as offering his support into the investigation that the ATP are partaking in.
These allegations state that the German grabbed her by the throat and forced her against the bathroom wall before punching at her and telling her he hoped she attempted suicide.
