Zverev emerged victorious in the second set, 7-6 (4). But Fritz came roaring back, taking the last three sets 6-3, 7-6 (3), and 6-3.
Morgan Riddle, Fritz’s girlfriend, had the final say as they celebrated their victory. On her Instagram Stories, Zverev appeared to be the target of mockery from Riddle.
She wrote, “When ur man wins 4 the girls,” alluding to claims that he had raped a woman in 2020.
In a another post, Riddle added, “cheer loud ladies.”
It looked like the posts had been removed.
Zverev reached an out-of-court deal with his former partner, who brought the claims, and then resolved the domestic abuse case. June saw the German court wrap up the trial. He consented to provide the state penalty of roughly $162,000 and $54,000 to charitable organizations.
During an argument, Zverev choked the woman and shoved her against a wall, according to the prosecution. Zverev insisted he was innocent.
In the fifth set of his match against Fritz, Zverev seemed offended by the applause emanating from his opponent’s box. He stated that “they were a bit over the top.”
