"Research about the guy and think again": Daria Kasatkina takes shots at tennis fan choosing to watch Alexander Zverev after abuse allegations

Daria Kasatkina responded to a comment on social media, taking a shot at Alexander Zverev, and her response gained widespread attention from fans on social platforms. The world No. 13 expressed her disappointment because Alexander Zverev's first-round match received prime-time coverage instead of Elena Rybakina.

In her comment, she referred to the German former world No. 2, who was featured in the television broadcast playing against Dominik Koepfer (Zverev's victory 4-6, 6-3, 7-6, 6-3). The Russian wrote, "No women’s tennis shown on TV. They are playing on Rod Laver, prime time and for what😭 don’t wanna say who they actually showing now."

Zverev's Controversy

The German received a sanction order from a German court for bodily harm against his ex-girlfriend and was sentenced to a series of fines totaling 450,000 euros. 'Sascha' is accused of physically abusing his former partner, although he has repeatedly denied the allegations.

It was recently confirmed that he will face trial in Germany in May regarding the charges brought by Brenda Patea, with whom he also shares a daughter.

Yes! As an Australian, I'm disgusted at my country's broadcasting and switched off.
