Sharypova described her version of events from last year’s US Open, when a German tennis player was supposed to beat and torture her after returning from a party with her friends at a hotel.
“He started choking me with a pillow, twisting my hands behind my back. I tried to run, but he always stopped me. I was afraid of him, I was scared that someone would see us and hear our quarrels. But then I managed to do it, “the 23-year-old exparter told the Russian media.

She allegedly tried to hide in the hotel, but Zverev found her and the quarrel was to escalate. “I tried to walk past him, I told him I wouldn’t go anywhere with him. But he shouted at me that he wouldn’t let me do that, and he threw me against the wall, “she confided.
The world’s seventh player and recent US Open finalist responded to the accusation on his instagram account and denied all allegations. In the message, he first shared with the fans the good news that he would be a father at the age of 23.
He is very much looking forward to the birth of his offspring and does not see a problem in the fact that he broke up with his expectant mother, Brenda Patea. “I will definitely fulfill my fatherly duties. We have a good relationship with Brenda and we will definitely take good care of the little man, “he assured him.
But then he turned to a much more explosive issue.
“There were unsubstantiated accusations of my ex-girlfriend Olga, which I read in the media. I’m very sad about them. Olga and I have known each other since we were children and we have experienced a lot together. I am sorry that she has resorted to these accusations, because they are simply not true. We had a relationship, but it ended a long time ago, “Zverev said.

“I don’t know why Olga is saying these things now. I just hope that we will both deal with it with reason and mutual respect, “added the native of Hamburg with Russian roots.
However, Sharypova did not let herself be sold. And she reacted again.
“I don’t know if you (Zverev) wrote it or if someone else manages your Instagram, but to this day you haven’t shown the courage to say what happened. I’m not lying and we both know it. I’m not afraid to tell the truth. You do? I want to show all men who treat ugly women that we’re not just some accessories or dolls to play with. And if you thought I would be quiet, after what I experienced in a relationship, you’re wrong, “she threatened.
She was said to be pleasantly surprised that after the publication of her words, she received, in addition to the expected negative reactions, also thousands of messages with the expression of support.
