"All the talk about how abuse allegations ruin men's careers is really just all talk" - Tennis fans react to Alexander Zverev winning Hamburg title

Alexander Zverev won his first ATP Tour title since 2021 on Sunday, beating Laslo Djere in straight sets to win the Hamburg European Open. With the 7-5, 6-3 win, he became the first German to win Hamburg in 30 years, following in the footsteps of 1993 winner Michael Stich.Tennis fans, though, were not thrilled about the run, as the former World No. 2 is in the midst of a second assault allegation, this time from his ex-girlfriend Brenda Patea.Fans were not focused on the German's redemption; rather, they pointed out the ineptitude of the ATP in dealing with the matter and how abuse allegations rarely led to the men getting the justice they deserved.Some users went as far as to say that Zverev should not have been allowed to continue playing in Hamburg once the allegations surfaced, a sentiment that was prevalent in the middle of the tournament as well.&quot;All the talk about how abuse allegations ruin men's careers is really just all talk, isn't it?&quot; one fan wrote.Scott Barclay@BarclayCard18All the talk about how abuse allegations ruin men's careers is really just all talk, ain't it? twitter.com/tennistv/statu…15All the talk about how abuse allegations ruin men's careers is really just all talk, ain't it? twitter.com/tennistv/statu…&quot;He'll probably win a slam before the ATP grows a backbone,&quot; another fan said.Drew@Schneideur@josemorgado He'll probably win a slam before the ATP grows a backbone4@josemorgado He'll probably win a slam before the ATP grows a backbone&quot;How lucky can this abuser get what a joke of a draw,&quot; one user wrote.Demandred07@Demdred07@josemorgado How lucky can this abuser get what a joke of a draw19@josemorgado How lucky can this abuser get what a joke of a drawHere are a few more reactions from fans:bee🐝@claycedesthe world lost today twitter.com/tennistv/statu…8the world lost today twitter.com/tennistv/statu…My GOAT is RF@girlsfaningNot one, but 2 women have so far accused him of abuse.

The German responded by rejecting the accusation and saying that his lawyers will handle the matter.&quot;I completely reject the allegations. My lawyers will take care of the matter,&quot; Alexander Zverev said.Meanwhile, American tennis icon Martina Navratilova has weighed in on the issue, calling for a proper investigation into the allegations. She also called out the ATP Tour for their &quot;bulls*it&quot; investigation in the first case of domestic abuse against Zverev, where the German was let go without any disciplinary action due to a lack of sufficient evidence.More importantly, Navratilova took the opportunity to advocate for a proper domestic violence policy in tennis, something many athletes have been calling for over the years but to no avail.&quot;This needs to be properly addressed and actually investigated rather than the BS investigation by the ATP Tour to nowhere,&quot; Navratilova said. &quot;Clearly, tennis needs a domestic violence policy.&quot;
