Australian Open runner-up Alexander Zverev had to wait for an interruption from a fan in the crowd before making his post-match speech after the men’s singles final on Sunday night. The second seed went down to a devastating Jannik Sinner in straight sets at Rod Laver Arena as a major champion continues to elude him, but the Italian world No.1’s game on the court wasn’t the only heat Zverev had to cop.
Alexander Zverev cops abuse from member of the crowd. “Just as Zverev is about to speak at the trophy ceremony, a woman repeatedly shouts: ‘Australia believes Olya and Brenda! Australia believes Olya and Brenda!’ Broke through the silence,” prominent tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg said. Zverev looked up to the stands and paused for an uncomfortable moment before shrugging it off and beginning his speech.
