"The ATP condemns any kind of violence or abuse. We expect all players on the tour to do the same and refrain from anything (...) that endangers others," said a broadcast.
And further: "In cases in which allegations of violence or abuse are raised against a member of the tour and authorities initiate investigations and appropriate measures, we will review the extent and decide how to proceed. Apart from that, it is not possible for us to continue to comment on allegations. "
Zverev's ex-girlfriend Olga Sharypova raised previously unproven allegations of physical and psychological violence during her relationship with the tennis player, which has long since ended. Zverev himself recently described the allegations as false.
At the ATP Finals 2020 , Zverev was drawn into a group with Daniil Medvedev, Novak Djokovic and Diego Schwartzman. He will serve for the first time on Monday.
