Federer and Roddick have been won Masters 1000 titles without being broken. Federer in Cincinatti 2015 I believe is the most recent. It's definitely happened before

The first ex-GF (Olga Sharypova) who accused Zverev of domestic violence gave a detailed account that was corroborated by several witnesses AND she never sought to get any money nor did she want Zverev prosecuted. She just wanted her story to be told about how he treated her and the negative effects it had on her life. So when a second ex-GF tells the same story, it certainly isn't a good look for Zverev, especially when you see how menacing he has acted to officials on the tennis court. It will look even worse if a 3rd woman comes forward claiming domestic abuse. At a minimum, Zverev has a serious anger management problem which he should address and overcome.

First of all Domestic abuse is a serious case and if he was found guilty he should have been held accountable for it both by the ATP and by the general public 2. His ex girlfriend stated from the get go that she didn’t want to take all of his money or even have him convicted of anything, just wanted to make sure that she was heard. Ofc you can argue why it was even taken to court in the first place but I think the answer to that would be to prove that she actually had evidence and she wasn’t just trying to ruin his life. That makes sense why it was settled out of court anyway instead of waiting for a verdict.

Ultimately, anyone in his position will be subject to scrutiny, as are the remainder of the top players in both tours. Everyone is different, and I remember something that Andy Roddick said in an interview: imagine having a bad day at work, and cameras being there. His behaviour on court is at times indefensible, but not unheard of and isn’t anything we haven’t seen with other players, and can be interpreted as him showing his passion. I respect him as a consistently high level tennis player, and for what he has to deal with on a medical level. However, I feel uncomfortable supporting him because of these allegations. That isn’t me disbelieving the justice system, just from a morality standpoint for me that I can’t cheer for anyone with even a faint question mark around something like domestic violence, especially when it’s come from two women separately. I respect him for what he’s done on the court, but at a distance.

She recently gave an interview retrieving her allegations. Unnoticed because it didn't fit in medias narrative

First video of yours I’ve seen, and it is very good. Just subscribed. As a player, I think very highly of Sasha. I think he’s one of the best players in the world and has the potential to get to #1 every now and then if he starts winning slams, which in my view, if he can get over all of the times he’s come so close, but lose, he inevitably will eventually. As a human being, I disliked him long before I knew about the spousal/girlfriend abuse accusations because I saw him lose it to such an extent at umpires and others at these events. I have a feeling that the diabetes contributes to this too, because there’s no question it can impact your mood if your blood sugar is too high or too low. But at the end of the day, that still doesn’t excuse it. So, overall, regardless of what happened with the abuse case, I don’t like him much. But I do respect his game.

On the note about winning tournaments without being broken, I think Fed did so at Cinci in 2012 and maybe a few more M1000s, but on clay that's titanic

He hang dogged the match away with Alcaraz at the French. No fire, no killer instinct. And you are right about his front running ability. It's terrible. I was such a fan and very proud of his recovery after the fall against Rafa. But after watching the match against Alcaraz in the final of the French, I have changed my tune and my being a fan again is in great jeopardy.

Off-court controversies aside, I think him and Tsitsipas need real coaches, family is not always a good thing in tennis, they sometimes can actually be detrimental. Other than that, I do have a lot of sympathy for his generation. All talented players but who had the misfortune to be contemporaries with the best players in history, Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Murray. And after all that, when those guys are either retiring or dropping their level, they get the likes of Alcaraz and Sinner. I am a Medvedev fan but I've always wanted to see the 3 of them and Rublev (I know, I know, cue the QF curse comments incoming) win many Slams but at this stage it doesn't look good for them. Zverev and Medvedev need to get bolder, Tsitsipas doesn't seem like he cares much and Rublev needs some mental help.

Since 2000, only three players have won their first major after age 26, Ivanisevic (29), Wrawinka (28), and Thiem (27). And it's gotten increasingly younger. I think his time has past, he should have won the French two years ago at 25 but fate dealt him a bad hand.

But if we do look at the results you put down for this year, I have to say that I love the excuses about it being a very tough draw, or my absolute favorite was very cold conditions (as if no one else was affected by these conditions. And yes this years results have been quite good, but far from exceptional. But again, when making a prediction on whether or not he can win a slam title, the only tournaments that matter are in fact the slam tournaments

@@fred3r1k ok, I'm not sure where my response to you went, so am going to post it again Tournament 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Australian Open A Q1 1R 3R 3R 4R SF QF 4R 2R SF French Open A Q2 3R 1R QF QF 4R SF SF SF F Wimbledon A 2R 3R 4R 3R 1R NH 4R A 3R US Open Q2 1R 2R 2R 3R 4R F SF A QF Unfortunately, the years are skewed and don't line up, but you can read left to right to see the place that he got each tournament from 2014 to 2024. I see two finals out of all those times. The one we just saw with Alcaraz where he was up 2 sets to 1. And then he was up 2 sets to nothing and blew that to Dominic Thiem at the 2020 US open (let me guess the referee made him lose the match excuse). So maybe the better way of putting it is that he folds under pressure. Now you present what he's done this year. The first problem is that we are talking about whether or not he can win a slam, and therefore the only matches that truly matter are the slam ones as they are the best of 5 sets. Even if we were to look at this years results they are very good but they aren't exceptional. I think the real funny thing are your excuses stating that it was a very tough draw, but my favorite excuse was where you listed very cold conditions. Um isn't the opponent also dealing with this very cold condition, or is Zverev wearing an ice pack during the match. In the end, one just needs to look at his record in the slams. Though admirable that he's made multiple SF's, going by results and the fact that he folds under pressure, I honestly don't think he'll ever win a slam. Doesn't mean I'm right, we won't know that until he retires, but I don't see it happening

Ernest Gulbis next please, hes good but very unlucky with his career

Maybe if he played a grand slam final against a woman, he'd beat her.

Predictable, boring, passive, unlikeable, inept at most things that make tennis fun (touch, net play). I am glad this is not enough to win slams

I like Sasha a lot - enjoyable to watch, and aside from Medvedev, he's my favorite among the top players. I hope he can make those adjustments you mentioned and continue making Slam finals. As for the allegations, I believe he's NOT GUILTY.

I Like Him

Gotta say, it's alarming how tennis fans use the situation to make cheap jokes about abuse (any reference with hitting, choking, ...). And it's alarming that so few people value the principal of innocent until proven guilty. That's like one of the most fundamental backbones of a society. Imagine ruining someones life for a cheap joke on the off-chance that you are wrong. Also, so many people got the "dropping the case/settlement" part wrong. Zverev didn't settle in the sense that he paid Patea money (she didn't get any). Patea wanted the charges dropped after day 3 of trials after evidence against her was brought up, to keep face. It's normal in Germany that the one initiating the trial (Zverev) has to pay some money to the court to compensate the public for not having a verdict. All charges are dropped, including the initial penal order, meaning he's officially innocent and can't be prosecuted for this alleged crime ever again. I'm all for believing alleged victims when they first come out, but when it turns out there's nothing to their story, you should refrain from calling people abuser. And no, smahsing your racket doesn't make you an abuser. It's mad how people jump to that conclusion.

That's what I said above. If Djokovic hits a lines person in the face with the ball, which he did, does that make him a domestic abuser? Of course not! These people are typical today's social justice warriors. They want to convict people in the court of public opinion.

Sascha should have been next Federer marketing wise with the way he speaks, looks and etc. With his career start, Big 3 support, it was no brainer back then. Funny enough, all those baseless allegations came out when he dropped his agent. Yet, he is T1D Olympic Champion and still standing tall! More to come!

I just don't like Zverev's game. As you said, he's passive and doesn't take risks; he's a glorified pusher. But my main critique is this: Alexander Zverev is one of the most boring players on tour. I avoid his matches because his style makes his opponents boring, too. I literally can't remember a match involving Zverev that was interesting. He's a black hole for inspiration. (I'm going to skip over the domestic abuse allegations because I have almost no faith in western legal system to justly address this issue. Rich men routinely escape consequences.)

1st of all the German legal system is one of the best in the world and most certainly better than the US‘. Secondly, what would need to happen for y’all to consider him innocent now? I mean his ex is not gonna release a video where she reveals that the story was all made. Innocent until proven guilty and there was not a single piece of evidence that would prove him guilty

He's just too unidimensional. It's really boring to watch a lot of the times.

Amazing video. I don't like Zverev, but he dies not have to be proven innocent. He is innocent until proven guilty. The fact that she did not receive anything and he got joint custody speaks volume. Leave the guy alone. ATP is not a court of justice, they should not do anything about it. Finally, former girlfriends of pro athletes have huge incentive to accuse like this. Not saying she lied, but it is clearly a possibility

I found the allegations extremely credible and I think he’s a menace. His arrogance is grotesque. The fact he said he never wanted to hear about the charges again because he’d been exonerated in Berlin when he hadn’t been, at all, sort of suggests he’s hoping no one will do a deep dive into the German legal system which is what I was hoping this video would be. Sporting bodies need to police the behaviour of star athletes and tennis has failed spectacularly in this regard.

even Zverev owns Rafa at Roland Garros

Zverev ... Great tennis player ... Abysmal human being ... He has all the hall marks of a manipulative abuser in his private life... And you wouldn't shut down all comment on it if were passionately against abuse ...

So, if Djokovic did that, he must be a domestic abuser as well, if I understand all the comments on here correctly, right? One thing does not prove another thing, unless there is SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE in a court of law. That's why we have a legal system.
