Things are getting more and more difficult for Alexander Zverev. The German ace was recently accused by his former girlfriend Olya Sharypova of domestic violence. In a statement, Sascha rebutted the accusation saying that they are unfounded. However, a fellow tennis player, Vasil Surduk, posted on Instagram that he was at the “epicenter” of what has happened and everything that Olya said was completely true.
Apparently, Vasil was also the guy that fetched Olya outside the hotel when she was kicked out from Sascha. As we keep on saying, Zverev deserves the benefit of the doubt, but his position is getting a bit shaky and apparently more details may emerge.
This was Vasil’s statement that was also reposted by Olya on Instagram:
“To everyone, I never been a fan [corrected from “fun”] of social media and drama. But today I saw that some of my friends from my [personal] life and college were informed of falsehood.
I want to share and support my best friend Olga. She is trying to bring the truth to the world about her last relationship when she was abused. I don’t have a goal to convince you who is bad and good person here. All I want you to know that I was at the epicenter when [corrected from “whenever”] it happened, and I confirm that every single Olga’s statement is absolutely true [corrected from “truth”].
If you believe me, believe her.”

The interview with the full allegations is worth amplifying more than him taking to the Notes app https://t.co/2I7YprXSX3

He's not a Basilashvili whom the tennis world can ignore (because they were largely ignoring anyway) – he'll be visible at the top of the game for years to come and the reputation of alleged domestic abuser will follow him throughout his career
