Alexander Zverev asked for a spectator who heckled him over domestic abuse allegations to be kicked out of his Munich Open quarter-final.<\/b><\/p>\n
The German number one seed was serving at 5-5 in the second set against Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor when the fan shouted: “Let’s go, you wifebeater.”<\/p>\n
Zverev spoke to chair umpire Fergus Murphy and could be heard saying “Fergus, please kick him out”. <\/p>\n
It is not clear if the spectator was ejected from the stadium. <\/p>\n
In January, Zverev was heckled<\/a> by a spectator during the Australian Open men’s singles trophy ceremony. <\/p>\n As he stepped up to receive his runners-up trophy, a spectator loudly shouted: “Australia believes Olya and Brenda.”<\/p>\n The 27-year-old was accused of violence by his former girlfriend Olya Sharypova in 2020<\/a> and of domestic abuse in 2023<\/a> by Brenda Patea, with whom he has a child.<\/p>\n Zverev has repeatedly denied both sets of allegations and a Berlin court case brought by Patea was discontinued last year.<\/a> <\/p>\n Zverev won the match on Friday against Griekspoor 6-7(6) 7-6(3) 6-4. He will face Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan in the semi-final on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
