'I know that right now there are a lot of people who will be trying to wipe a smile off my face, but I'm still smiling under this mask. Everything's great on the court and off the court. Everything is great in my life, I'm going to be a father soon," said Zverev.

'Those who are trying [to wipe away the smile] can keep trying but I'm still smiling, you just can't see under the mask.'

This included on Twitter when users asked for the ATP to release a statement on the allegations. The World No.7 strenuously denies the allegations and is protesting his innocence.
