“In Geneva he hit me in the face”

Olga Sharypova, Alexander Zverev’s ex-girlfriend, again raised serious allegations against the tennis star in an interview with “Bild”. The 23-year-old is said to have mentally and physically abused her.

After tennis star Alexander Zverev dismissed any allegations of abuse by his ex-girlfriend Olga Sharypova, the photographer, who lives in New York, is now following. In an interview with the German “Bild”, the 23-year-old talks about the psychological and physical abuse of the tennis star. Allegations that Zverev tried to strangle her with a pillow during the 2019 US Open are just the beginning.

“The next part is what happened in Geneva. It was in New York last year at the Laver Cup, ”said Sharypova, for whom it was very difficult to talk about these things. ‘He hit me in the face. It was indeed a very serious situation. I didn’t know what I should have done. I can’t go on talking about it now. “

Even psychological abuse

Physical violence was only part of the mistreatment and the 23-year-old also caused her mental harm. “There was psychological violence during our relationship. He always said to me: ‘You are nothing, you have nothing. I have money, I am successful. And you? You do not have anything! > “

Sharypova did not denounce him because she loved him at that moment. “When all this happened, I thought we were going to make it. After the relationship, I didn’t want an investigation. I was not mentally ready for this. Now I’m talking about all this because I want to tell the truth and help other women, ”the Russian said.

Zverev still denies everything

Alexander Zverev doesn’t want to know anything about his ex-girlfriend’s latest allegations. The tennis star denied the NYC accident allegations in an emotional Instagram post last week.

“As you know, Alexander published a statement last week and continues to support his clarification statements made there,” one of the letters accessible to “Bild” said.
