Australian Open > Zverev, questioned on a sensitive subject after his defeat in the final against Sinner: “Wow, I didn't expect this question. I have absolutely nothing against Jannik”

While Jannik Sinner has just won the 2025 Australian Open and the third Grand Slam of his career, the questions surrounding his doping case, which will be judged next April by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), are already resurfacing.

And if the person concerned will certainly be questioned on this subject during his visit to the press conference, it was his opponent in the final, Alexander Zverev, who went first on the grid. And obviously, he wasn't expecting it. Excerpts.

Question : You talked about Jannik's dominance. Isn't it strange that he could be banned for a long time? To what extent does this create uncertainty among other players?

ALEXANDER ZVEREV : Wow, I didn't expect this question. I don't know anything about it. I don't know anything about the situation he finds himself in. I know he was cleared once. I know someone from the Tennis Integrity Unit is reviewing the matter. Yes, he's a good guy. I have absolutely nothing against him. I don't know what will happen, but we'll see in the coming months. I wasn't expecting this question, so I don't really know how to answer it, to be very honest.
