Alba posted this link in the closed thread, an interview with the ex who claims Z abused her:
“I wanted to run away. But Sasha pushed me against the wall and said that he would get nothing for it "
A frank confession to the "Championship" of the former girlfriend of tennis player Alexander Zverev.
Russian Olga Sharypova , who had been in a relationship with tennis player Alexander Zverev for several years, said on her Instagram that in August last year, during a quarrel, they “tried to strangle her with a pillow, hit her head against the wall, twist her arms”. At the same time, the girl did not name the name of the person from whom she suffered so much. However, the readers of her “instagram” immediately suggested that it was
Alexander Zverev . "Championship" managed to contact Sharypova, who confirmed that we are really talking about Zverev.
Olga Sharypova and Alexander Zverev met in childhood, when they played at junior tournaments. In 2018, they began a serious relationship. They are the same age and have a lot of common tennis acquaintances. However, according to Olga, few people knew the details of what happened to her in August 2019, a few days before the start of the US Open.
Olga Sharypova: On that day I was just walking with Dasha Medvedeva
(wife of Daniil Medvedev)and my friend. We were a little late, and Sasha got angry because of this. When I got home, we had a fight. Our quarrels always took place from scratch. I wrote on Instagram that he tried to strangle me with a pillow, twisted his arms. I tried to run out of the room several times, but he would not let me. I was afraid that someone might see and hear us. But in the end I managed to break free, and I ran off barefoot with one phone on a string.
At first I was hiding in a hotel, but Sasha went downstairs and found me. We stood near the side entrance. I sobbed and tried to leave, and he wanted me to return to the room and we talked. But I understood that at that moment there would be no dialogue. I was scared and wanted to run away. But Sasha pushed me against the wall and said that he would get nothing for it. And that no one cares about me, no matter what he does to me. Fortunately, at that moment people appeared, and I slipped out into the street with them. I was alone, barefoot in the middle of the street. It's good that I had a phone, and I was able to contact a friend who took me to his family. This correspondence was kept by my friend (
screen grab of phone shown).
All things, money, documents - everything remained in the room. After this situation, Sasha wrote and called me. At first I didn't want to see him, but I decided that we still need to talk. I arrived at the hotel and waited for him in the lobby, because I did not have a room card. While we corresponded with Sasha, we again began to swear with him. I sat in the hotel toilet and cried. And when he arrived at the hotel, he just threw my things into the lobby. A friend whose family took me in has this photo:
But the most interesting thing is that nobody gave me my passport. It turns out that I was left with my things, but I can't fly home.
A day later, he came to the house where I was to make peace. And due to the fact that there were witnesses, we were able to talk normally. As a result, we continued our relationship. During the US Open, I sat at his matches, and then went with him to Geneva for the Laver Cup and to China for tournaments. Then we parted, but I'm not ready to talk about this yet. This is a very long story, in which many people are already tied.
- Was this the only such case between you and Alexander Zverev?
- This was not the first situation, there were a lot of them. But every time I tried to forget it and blamed myself for it. But then in August it was really scary. I was really scared for my life.
- Why exactly now did you decide to tell about the story that happened in August last year?
- First, because it was scary. I already received a lot of negativity in my address. Secondly, because I needed time to go through it and restore my nervous system after such a relationship. Now that I've let it go and experienced it, I'm ready to talk about it. I couldn't before.
- How did it happen that one day there was news about the pregnancy of a German model from Alexander, and your frank story?
- I was going to tell about it. And I wanted to do it for a long time. It just so happened that it was on this day that two of his ex-girls made loud statements. Boomerang returned to him today. For each of their actions, people should be responsible: be it a child or violence.
- Who else was aware of your situation? Maybe Alexander's parents? Or mutual acquaintances - the same Dasha Medvedeva?
- Sasha's parents didn't talk to me much. Whether they knew or not, I cannot say. As for mutual acquaintances, no one knew this. Including Dasha Medvedeva. She did not participate in this story in any way and did not know anything about it. In general, for a long time I did not want to spoil Sasha's reputation.
- What has changed now?
- Now I understand that people should be responsible for such actions. I don't want anyone to be in the same situation as me. If a person does not know how to build relationships, maybe they do not need to start?
- Olga, are you not afraid that you will be accused of slander, that Alexander's defenders will rise and attacks against you will begin?
- No. I was attacked by his environment when I was in a relationship with him. And I survived it. I'll survive that too. I just want Sasha to understand that sooner or later everything must be answered. Naturally, there are no direct witnesses that he strangled me, and cannot be, because it happened in private. But I am ready for any tests, including a lie detector, to confirm my words. I do not demand anything from him. I just want it to be known.
