A personal injury trial in Berlin at the end of May concerns Alexander Zverev at the Australian Open in Melbourne. In press conferences on Tuesday, several tennis experts were asked whether it was appropriate for Zverev to be a member of the ATP's player council, given the ongoing proceedings. Zverev was also spoken to after his first-round win over Dominic Koper.
“Why shouldn't it be?” Zverev answered a question from an Australian journalist. He has no doubt that his colleagues will continue to support his position in the players' group. “I have no reason not to believe it,” Zverev said. “Nobody told me anything.” Professionals such as Britain's Cameron Norrie or Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov responded by avoiding the topic due to insufficient information.
