Zverev Continues in Australian Open Amid Domestic Abuse Trial Controversy

Critics question ATP's lack of domestic abuse policy as Zverev's sponsors remain largely silent.

Alexander Zverev, the German tennis star, is set to face trial in May on a domestic abuse charge, yet continues to compete in the Australian Open.
Zverev's continued participation in the tournament has sparked controversy, with critics pointing out the lack of a domestic abuse policy in the ATP Tour.
Zverev has recently been elected to the ATP Player Council, raising questions about his influence on potential decisions about his own case.
Zverev's sponsors have remained largely silent, with Adidas stating it is 'monitoring' the situation and Rolex indicating that Zverev is no longer a brand ambassador.
The trial is scheduled for late May, coinciding with the French Open, and Zverev has not confirmed whether he will attend.
