Tennis star Alexander Zverev is adamant he did NOT put his hands on his ex-girlfriend … saying the recent allegations made against him are simply not true.
The 23-year-old German’s ex-GF, Olga Sharypova, went public last week with claims he hit her head against a wall, twisted her arms and tried to strangle her with a pillow in August 2019.
Zverev quickly responded with a statement of his own … saying the accusations are “unfounded.”
“I very much regret that she makes such statements,” the #7-ranked player in the world said. “Because the accusations are simply not true. We had a relationship, but it ended a long time ago.”
“Why Olga is making these accusations now, I just don’t know.”
Zverev was asked again about the claims after beating Miomir Kecmanovic at the Paris Masters tournament on Wednesday … doubling down on his innocence.
“I have said everything on my Instagram,” Zverev said. “There is nothing else I can add right now. I’m here to play tennis.”
“I mean, the relationship, as I said, has been over for a very long time.”
“I’m enjoying my time on court. I have said everything. [The allegations] are not true, and there is nothing more I can say right now.”
