Athletistic/Tennis. 2020 Olympic champion, German tennis player Alexander Zverev, has made his comments regarding the controversial statement regarding 2021 US Open champion, Russian Daniil Medvedev, made after his loss at the Monte Carlo Masters tournament this spring . Zverev notably called Medvedev “the most dishonest player on the circuit” because of his emotional behavior.

“I regret the way I worded this interview. I truly believe that in my words I was referring to a specific victory in that match, and not an assessment of his tennis as a whole. This is something that I really don’t approve.

They may say a lot about me, but I never use a medical break unless necessary and I don’t go to the bathroom for no reason. I avoid any “gimmick” or dishonesty because it’s just not my style. I can’t stand it when my opponents behave like this and consider it extremely unsportsmanlike. Ultimately, I should have approached him personally and said, “Hey, what were you doing? What the hell are you doing!” instead of making a public statement. But then I was bored. At that moment I was irritated,” Zverev said, citing information from Tennis Head and Sky Sports Germany.
