WATCH: 'You Fu***ng Wifebeater': Zverev Heckled About Domestic Violence Allegations

Alexander Zverev's personal life rose to the fore again when a spectator at the 2025 Munich Open launched an explicit tirade at the German about allegations made against him.

Two of Zverev's ex-girlfriends, Olya Sharypova and Brenda Patea, made the allegations against him. Sharypova accused him of violence, and Patea's accusations related to domestic abuse.

The ATP did an investigation into Zverev without suspending him and took no further action after determining there was insufficient evidence. Not banning the world No. 3 during the process caused some controversy.

Zverev's case with Patea went to court. Ultimately, a district court in Berlin concluded the trial with the permission of state prosecutors and lawyers, and Zverev paid fines of €150,000 and €50,000 to the state and charitable organizations.

The ending of that process has not stopped it from being mentioned during or after some of Zverev's matches, with the most notable example coming after the 2025 Australian Open final in January.

During the trophy ceremony after Zverev lost to Jannik Sinner, confirming a third Grand Slam final defeat, a woman yelled out about the cases involving Sharypova and Patea, adding to the 27-year-old's pain.

A few months had passed since the incident was brought up during a match. That period ended when a fan shouted aggressively towards Zverev during his Munich Open quarterfinal against Tallon Griekspoor.

With Zverev serving at 6-7, 5-5, 15-0, a man called out, "Let's go, you fu***ng wifebeater" in German, immediately capturing the home player's attention by bringing up such a sensitive topic.

The man's actions were greeted with a few cheers before being drowned out by a chorus of boos from most of the crowd, who made a point of showing Zverev that he had the majority of the crowd support.

Zverev's initial reaction was to smile, seemingly in amusement, to try to brush it off and move on. He then held serve to guarantee himself at least a tiebreak in the second set before sitting down between games.

But the fan was not done. He shouted at Zverev again during the sit-down, and the three-time Grand Slam finalist’s patience ran out, asking the umpire, Fergus Murphy, to remove him from the court.

Murphy, who does not speak German, asked Zverev what happened. Unsurprisingly, he did not want to repeat the subject of the heckling and asked the umpire to handle the situation.

Although Zverev did not directly mention it, the high-profile nature of Zverev's allegations suggests that Murphy probably inferred the gist of what the fan said when Zverev did not want to repeat it. The man was then removed from the stadium.

Zverev managed to refocus and battle through a dramatic match against Griekspoor, with whom he has played many entertaining matches in the last 12 months. The No. 1 seed prevailed 6-7, 7-6, 6-4.

Last year's French Open runner-up was at No. 2 for several weeks in the rankings, but slipped to No. 3 after Carlos Alcaraz won the 2024 Monte Carlo Masters. Alcaraz is competing at this week's 2025 Barcelona Open.
