The German tennis star Alexander Zverev hit the negative headlines just a week after the early termination of the Adriatic Tour because of another party visit. The world ranking seventh was on Sunday on an Instagram story by fashion designer Philipp Plein at a party in his home town of Monaco.

While this video has since been deleted, a copy made by US tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg continues to circulate on Twitter. Zverev took part in the Adria Tour initiated by Novak Djokovic in June together with Dominic Thiem and other tennis stars.
Disregarding the distance and hygiene rules in the fight against the corona virus, Djokovic and Co. celebrated an exuberant party in a Belgrade nightclub. As a result, both Djokovic and his coach Goran Ivanisevic, Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric and Viktor Troicki were tested positive for Covid-19.
Kyrgios can’t believe it
A week ago, Zverev made a statement apologizing to anyone he may have endangered for playing on this tour. In addition, the 23-year-old announced that he would go into self-isolation and undergo further tests. The corona virus tests performed were all negative.
The tennis scene noted with dismay that Zverev apparently did not keep to the quarantine time. Nick Kyrgios spoke up most clearly. “How selfish can you be?” Asked the Australian in his Instagram story. “If you are so brazen about publishing this ready-made statement from your management that you isolate yourself for 14 days and apologize to everyone, stay at home for 14 days.”
