Although the Australian Open men's singles final has come to an end, there are still a lot of heated discussions about this match that are hotly discussed by fans! In addition to feeling sorry for the runner-up Zverev, the post-match interview of the Australian Open champion and runner-up has also received special attention from the outside world, and believes that this is to some extent a lingering "embarrassment" and "shame" in the history of tennis!
After the Australian Open men's singles final, players are usually given applause and encouragement, but the day before yesterday the men's singles final was a different interview, with the champions and runners-up being asked negative news about themselves at the press conference.
Before the medal ceremony for this year's Australian Open men's singles final, a spectator suddenly shouted, "Australia believes in Olga and Brenda." And shouted three times before stopping, and it is worth mentioning that the names shouted from the mouth of this audience are the two parties to Zverev's domestic violence case! Zverev, who heard the shouts at the time, showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he was also asked after the game what he wanted to say to the Australian fans who had been accused of these related domestic violence cases.
However, Zverev said: "I don't think I'm guilty anymore, after all, it's been nine months. It's good, I think that lady is the only one in the whole stadium who believes in everything, and if she really does, she's great. I've done everything I can do, so I don't want to restart the topic anymore. ”
Zverev's domestic violence case was once a sensation in the tennis world, but after a series of verifications, the court announced in 2023 that there is currently no evidence to prove Zverev's abuse and other behaviors. Subsequently, in June 2024, Zverev and his ex-girlfriend Brenda Patya suddenly announced that the two had reached an out-of-court settlement, and in this regard, some netizens said that the settlement does not mean that the defendant is guilty or innocent, and a decisive factor in the court's decision is that the original defendant agreed to end the trial. Subsequently, Zverev paid 200,000 euros in court costs, of which 150,000 euros will go to the state and 50,000 euros will go to charity.
A few families are happy and a few are sad! World No. 1 Sinner is also having a hard time with the men's singles post-match press conference, where the topic of the men's singles doping trial is still around Sinner, who has been crowned champion at the Australian Open for the second year in a row.
And Sinner's answer to this is: "It's hard to say. I haven't thought about that yet. I just finished a good fight. Honestly, I want to enjoy this moment. Like I always said, I can keep playing like this because I'm very open about what's going on, and if I knew I might be guilty, I wouldn't be able to play tennis like this, that's all. When I play, I don't think about it. Of course, there will always be times when you think that it would be nice not to have these "problems", but I always look forward to going out on the field, trying to understand, and giving myself some free time, which is good for the body and mind. Then get back on the field and see where you can improve. ”
Sinner's case is now set to go to trial around April 16 this year, and if WADA's appeal is upheld, Sinner could also be sentenced to a ban of more than one to two years for "fault or negligence".
However, the president of the Italian Tennis Association remained optimistic when talking about Sinner, who believes that Sinner's victory could lead to a different outcome for the hearing. "I don't really think they're going to do anything to Yannick, we think we're moving towards a solution that's good for the players," he said. Only jealous people would try to take advantage of the situation, but no one who knows the sport has any doubts about Sinner's fairness, and in fact, the greatest champions are on his side. Almost a year had passed since the Indian Wells station, and his peace had been taken away. For something that didn't happen at all, he had already endured excessive punishment and had to endure such heavy pressure. ”
Having said that, the history of the two players is indeed not a glorious thing, which not only makes their reputation among fans plummet, but also makes the scene that should be focused on sports full of awkward and complicated emotions. In this regard, some fans said, "A sports scandal is overwhelming to this extent, and it is almost close to the previous bicycle!" Some netizens said, "Two people who discredit tennis, one discredits the elegance of tennis, and the other discredits the purity of tennis!" ”(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
