MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Following Alexander Zverev's defeat in the Australian Open final, a disruptive incident occurred during the trophy ceremony. A spectator in the stadium shouted the names of two of Zverev's ex-girlfriends who had previously accused him of physical abuse, stating “Australia believes” them. This outburst was met with a mix of reactions from the crowd, with some booing and whistling.
During the subsequent news conference, Zverev, a 27-year-old tennis player from Germany, was questioned about the interruption on court. In response, Zverev acknowledged that there had been no new accusations in the past nine months and expressed his reluctance to revisit the subject.
