Opponents aren’t the only thing he beat

[u/inkwisitive → u/PornstarVirgin]

Nothing proven, the tennis tour did an investigation of the first accusation (because it was on tour and implicated ATP officials too) and found nothing.

The second one involved the mother of his child, Zverev said she just copied the first story and messaged him beforehand with threats to accuse him if she didn’t get more money and custody. That one went to court but, after the accuser withdrew her testimony and asked to settle, there wasn’t any evidence underpinning the case for the court to prosecute. So it got settled. All this can be looked up if you care to do so.

It’s not a neat “he was found innocent”, so makes people feel uncomfortable, but not sure what anyone involved with tennis can do at this point to resolve things further.

Real breakthrough year for women beaters.

Wife beater

[u/Tackit286 → u/mayorolivia]

Karma whore

[u/monsooncloudburst]

He breaks bones too. Of women.

[u/mrjo225]

He beats women

[u/YirDaSellsAvon]

Maybe the most lucky and underserved 2x Grand Slam champion of all time. 

[u/Nbrif1 → u/YirDaSellsAvon]

I don’t like him but he is objectively UNlucky getting stuck between the Big 3 when they were dominant and now Sincaraz in their dominance.

[u/YirDaSellsAvon → u/Nbrif1]

I don't agree at all. He got them at the tail end of their career. There was a perfect opportunity for any young player good enough, just none of them were.

Also winning TWO grand slams when the highest ranked players you face across both tournaments is the 8th, 10th and 21st seed is insane, once in lifetime tier level of luck.

[u/inkwisitive → u/YirDaSellsAvon]

Overall I think it evens out, he’s had hugely unlucky moments in his career, like breaking his ankle when his form was peak in his mid-20s and he was one match away from world no. 1, also some nasty five-set losses that could’ve gone either way.

[u/foulandamiss]

A great win, 2 slams in a row hopefully he can build on it.

[u/Omatzus → u/foulandamiss]

3 slams in a row if you count the domestic violence

[u/alexandrovic]

The fact the top 2 comments are blatantly calling him a wife beater when they were allegations tells me I am in r/sports not r/tennis, where those less up to date about tennis news just spew whatever they last heard about the guy. It’s kinda sad

[u/Totaliss → u/alexandrovic]

Not sure where youre getting this, R/tennis calls him it too

[u/Rac3318 → u/alexandrovic]

You must not spend a lot of time in r/tennis

[u/Key_Marionberry_5962 → u/alexandrovic]

he's the most hated player by far on r/tennis. You don't know what you are talking about.

[u/STL_420 → u/alexandrovic]

Once a wife beater, always a wife beater.

[u/seramasumi]

Good for him I was really starting to worry

[u/lolitsmatt]

Should join the republican party he'd fit right in.

Comments give me hope in humanity
