Alexander Zverev defended his role on the ATP Players Council despite facing a domestic abuse trial in Germany

Transcript

00:00 Can I ask about the trial in Germany?

00:03 Do you think it's appropriate to continue on the ATP Players Council while that case is underway?

00:11 Why would it not be?

00:13 I mean, there's obviously a question mark about your judgment that the court will decide.

00:18 So you have the confidence of your fellow players to continue in that role?

00:27 Yeah, I think so. Nobody has said anything to me, so I don't have a reason not to believe that.

00:34 There are some people around saying that you shouldn't be playing at all, let alone be in a leadership position.

00:41 What are your thoughts about that?

00:44 Like who?

00:46 Journalists are saying that. Some.

00:48 Who are actually interested more in a story to write about and more about the cliques than the actual truth.
