"I wanted Zverev to be aware of his own discomfort," said the woman who had shouted during the Australian Open ceremony.

I wanted Zverev to be aware of his own discomfort, said the woman who had shouted during the Australian Open ceremony.

This Sunday, during the Australian Open trophy ceremony, as Alexander Zverev was about to begin his speech, a woman shouted, "Australia believes Brenda and Olga."

This created a great deal of controversy and discomfort during the speech. Ben Rothenberg, an American tennis journalist, interviewed the woman.

She justified her act: "I'm a real tennis fan, I've been to the Australian Open five times this year.

I love the sport, but I don't like its indifference to important issues.

The question I asked myself was how I could show that I didn't support Zverev.

From my own experience, a lot of people know about domestic violence, even when it's hushed up.

The culture of silence protects men. It protected my father from any consequences.

During the match ball, I decided to go down to the media seats.

I wanted to be close enough to all of you, so that you could hear me.

I wanted Sascha to be aware of his own discomfort, to know that we won't forget, even if he wants to ignore it."
