This is fucking horrific. Pochin telling England to keep winning so blokes don't batter their wives, instead of telling abusers not to abuse.

Can't believed what I have just watched.

Advantage, Abusers.
Stop giving them advantages. Listen to victims. Listen to their reality.

[D.⛅ @Deep_Take001]

Can't stop throwing jabs at Jannik every 6 months cuz he believes in fighting for justice but is extremely emotional about this abuser winning a slam.

[failed @unnamedbutalone]

He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.

But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?

[Tennis Weekly Podcast @tennisweeklypod]

The constant assertion from Zverev that he has been "proven innocent" of domestic violence allegations is both untrue and deliberately misleading. He settled and the case was dropped as part of that settlement. A spokesperson for the Berlin court at the time explicitly clarified: "The decision is not a verdict and it does not involve a decision about guilt or innocence." He is legally presumed innocent but by choosing to settle he made the decision not to "prove" his innocence.

This truly is a sad day for tennis.

[nana 🌺 @courtracks]

.@AlexZverev you have more domestic abuse allegations than grand slams and that will always be your legacy

[Cory Le Guen @coryleguen]

Petit rappel si Alexander Zverev parvient à gagner aujourd’hui, il comptabilisera toujours plus d’accusations pour violences conjugales que de « grands chelems ».

[danimal rosé collins 🎾 @Marco_Snarko]

it’s completely insane to see the support and admiration for a vile and abusive rat piece of shit like Zverev and I hope all you apologists destroy your fucking ankles too 🔮

[Raghav @raghavv_01]

Alexander Zverev really is the Israel of tennis

[Remeli 🎾 @RemeliTennis]

Zverev va sûrement gagner son 1er GC et ça pose un problème. Pas du tout pour son niveau de jeu, mais parce qu'il ne devrait pas être sur un court de tennis

Il faut profiter du fait qu'il aura une immense médiatisation ajd pour rappeler qu'il a été accusé de violences conjugales par DEUX de ses ex compagnes.

(Je me permets de rappeler l'histoire pour celles et ceux qui en n'ont pas forcément connaissance)

Sa première ex n'a pas voulu porter plainte mais a témoigné des violences qu'elle a subies pendant leur relation. Certains médias ont repartagé son histoire mais ont fait face à des procédures baillons de la part des avocats de Zverev. C'est à dire des poursuites pour diffamation dès qu'ils décidaient de partager ces accusations (afin de les emmener dans des procédures juridiques coûteuses et donc de les dissuader d'en parler).

Sa 2e ex compagne et mère de son enfant a témoigné d'EXACTEMENT les mêmes faits et a décidé de porter plainte contre Zverev.

Les charges étaient suffisamment solides pour qu'il écope d'une amende de 450 000€ fin 2023.

Le procès a été interrompu par un accord à l'amiable entre les deux personnes. Mais il ne faut pas être dupe, ces accords sont souvent acceptés pour mettre fin à la pression financière, médiatique et l'harcelement que subissent les victimes.

Les deux ex de Zverev ont bien sûr été une deuxième fois victimes dans cette affaire en témoignant contre lui. Accusées d'être des menteuses, de faire ça pour l'argent etc.

Pour toutes ces raisons ça dégoute de voir ce joueur une nouvelle fois au sommet du tennis mondial (et voir certains journalistes/consultants être super complaisants vis à vis de lui mdr).

Mais bon c'est ça d'être un homme, riche et puissant 👍

This is a good time to bring up this article for new tennis fans. A harrowing reminder of what victims of abuse endure and the lengths institutions go to in order to protect abusive men like Alexander Zverev.

[mora HOTD SPOILERS @levitoslam]

coco gauff gets attacked for having sympathy with palestinians and naomi osaka for hosting a dinner with black tennis players while a whiny sore loser violent man like zverev gets treated like a make a wish kid bc apparently he's entitled to a grand slam

[Axolile Notywala @AxolileNotywala]

Remember Cape Town that there could have been funds to respond better to disaster relief & disaster preparedness. But the DA hates the poor so much they voted against this because I foregrounded informal settlements as usually severely affected. These funds would help right now.

[The Original Lisa Vandercunt @robinwannabefly]

I feel bad for them folks on that cruise. I really do. But baby they can’t come off that ship I’m so sorry.

[Luvuko Nombembe @luvukonombembe]

I’m about to pay R26.63 a litre because someone decided to start an unnecessary war to cover up his sexual crimes. 😒

[Dan Corder 📺 @DanCorderOnAir]

Terrible weekend for DA. Two ministers' departments in scandal

AI fakes to draft AI policy has become a global story

R285m for textbooks awarded to a company with no publishing history

Both ministers are DA deputy federal chairs

The buck stops with them, as with all ministers

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

"Noble and brave soldiers of the state if Israel " who rape detainees to death, target children.....and boast about it. "The Pope's hands are dripping with blood?" NOBODY believes that but genocidal warmongers who want to kill civilians and steal land.

[Portia Moemedi @PortiaMoemedi]

Mind you, over 700 people lost their jobs. In a country that has hight unemployment rates. @WOOLWORTHS_SA are bullies, I’m sorry. They can’t expect this factory to only supply to them.

And Woolies loves saying they support local. Now they are importing
