What really scares me is that a lot from the decent journalists (i have the highest respect for CC) in Tennis have no interest in covering doping. Instead they help create a dangerous narrative the anti doping system is too strong/sensitive without a journalistic classification

I dont like the narrative he sets from time to time. Injury was in the semis of Indian Wells where he played final on march 20th. His agent posted his first official practice on April 18th. I was not good in maths but thats not six weeks.
Nadal said he didn’t retain any of the confidence from his great start to 2022.
“No, when you are six weeks without touching a racquet and without having the chance to move your body…My body is like an old machine. To put this machine on again it already again takes some time.”

In the end this whole process gets Zverev more problems, more negative press and more distraction from his tennis. To deal with an upcoming publicly courtcase and play tennis is difficult enough.

All the more surprising was: That Zverev was elected in the players council in the first place. That his peers didnt see that this will be an huge problem to have a player that faces this allegations and will defend himself in court shall represent and argue vs the atp.

I think you should not treat every topic the same. In terms of toiletbreaks, breaks, slow play, medical timeouts Zverev is fair. You never see him do that. He has a right to express this imo and also people should see a development how he treats umpires etc since his outburst

if he was 100% fit today Zverev paused multiple secs: "Dont want to take anything away from him he was way better but I had my problems"
In german he said he has a small strain in his thigh. Pulled it in the end of practice yesterday. Wont play Stuttgart
6:3, 6:4, 6:0 for Ruud, well deserved. A lot more stability in his game
Zverev had 2 little chances
First set:

Opinion: Zverev (25) would have won this tournament without the injury in Paris
