• World No 14 accused by ex-girlfriend Olga Sharypova
• Independent investigation set up by ATP took 15 months

The ATP has decided to take no disciplinary action against Alexander Zverev after a 15-month independent investigation found “insufficient evidence to substantiate published allegations of abuse”.

Zverev, the Tokyo Olympic gold medallist and world No 14, had been accused by his former girlfriend, Olga Sharypova, of being emotionally and physically abusive during their relationship, including at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Shanghai in 2019 and in Monaco, New York and Geneva.
