“A major independent investigation into Alexander Zverev has found insufficient evidence to substantiate published allegations of abuse,” it said. “In addition to the ATP’s independent investigation, I have also initiated court proceedings in Germany and Russia, both of which I have won.” Zverev, who reached the second round of the recent Australian Open, has slipped to 14th in the world rankings after his injury problems. Alexander Zverev said “justice has prevailed” after tennis chiefs announced Tuesday there was “insufficient evidence” to substantiate allegations of domestic abuse against the German former world number two.

A major independent investigation into Alexander Zverev has found insufficient evidence to substantiate published allegations of abuse.

In October 2021, ATP commissioned an Independent Safeguarding Report, to ensure all adults and minors involved in men’s professional tennis are safe and protected from abuse. The investigation reviewed submissions by both Sharypova and Zverev, including text messages, audio files, and photos. LFG conducted extensive interviews with both Sharypova and Zverev, and 24 other individuals including family and friends, tennis players, and other parties involved with the ATP Tour. It has also shown the need for us to be more responsive on safeguarding matters. LFG was directed to conduct the investigation in a fully independent manner, with ATP’s outside legal counsel, Smith Hulsey & Busey, serving as an intermediary. Commissioned by ATP in October 2021, the investigation looked into allegations of domestic abuse made by Zverev’s former girlfriend, Olya Sharypova.

World No.14 Alexander Zverev has been cleared by the ATP after a 15-month investigation into claims made by a former girlfriend. Read more here.

During the 12-month period, Zverev has had the possibility of incurring a fine and suspension for what the tour [described](https://www.atptour.com/en/news/alexander-zvervev-acapulco-investigation) as “verbal or physical abuse of an official, opponent, spectator, or any other person while on-court or on-site.” [Racquet](https://racquetmag.com/2020/11/05/olyas-story/) in November 2020, Sharypova said the physical abuse began the year before in Monaco when Zverev “hit my head into the wall.” In New York ahead of the 2019 U.S. He grabbed her by the throat and “started to punch me,” she said, causing her to respond with what physical force she could muster “to protect myself.” He [said](https://twitter.com/josemorgado/status/1620491875957493760) Tuesday in a statement shared on social media that “justice had prevailed” after a “long and difficult process.” [Slate](https://slate.com/culture/2021/08/alexander-zverev-domestic-abuse-allegations-olga-sharypova.html), Sharypova detailed what she described as a violent interaction at the Shanghai Masters in October 2019. Less than a month later, while in Geneva for the Laver Cup, Zverev “punched me in the face for the first time,” Sharypova said. “I welcomed and fully cooperated with the ATP’s investigation and am grateful for the organisation’s time and attention in this matter.” Sharypova told Slate the reddish abrasions were inflicted by her during their fight. She followed that by confirming to 14 after reaching a career high of No.
