“I deeply apologize to anyone that I have put at risk...I will proceed to follow self-isolating guidelines...stay safe 🙏.”

This is my concern with tennis attempting to come back mid-pandemic: not that precautions can’t be taken, but that too many tennis players are conditioned to be wildly self-centered and have no concept of how to act for the greater interest of a larger group.
Philipp Plein has already deleted the frame of his Instastory that most clearly showed Zverev partying today.
No matter how lazy, sloppy and selfish players are about following public health guidelines mid-pandemic, they sure can spring to quick action to cover their asses.🥳😐

Many thanks to the person who anonymously sent me this! I definitely do not follow Philipp Plein on Instagram, heaven forbid.
As always, if you want to send me stuff anonymously, my email is in my bio, and my DMs are open on here (for now at least).

Also, kudos to Zverev fans for how they are reacting to this, from what I can see on this bird app.
They have a lot to teach other fanbases about rationality, setting appropriate limits on what fandom should entail, and what's not worth excusing or defending.

Amused by the dozens of people tagging Nick Kyrgios into this in hopes that he'll reply.
Y'all do realize that there are literally hundreds of other pro tennis players capable of reacting as well, right? Or is Kyrgios truly the only one who has earned the expectation of candor?

There is no doubt that this was a video of Zverev from today, no matter how many deletions/misdirects are attempted by Monégasque misfits.
Here’s another angle I was sent (which has also since been deleted from an instastory after being posted today).

Aside from the general public, Zverev's breaking of self-isolation also potentially is bad news for other tennis players, as Lucas Pouille (one of the players playing UTS nearby) appears to have also been at this Sunday shindig.
^Clarification: Lucas Pouille is no longer one of the players competing in UTS, he was in the region for a wedding.
(Thanks, close Lucas watcher @AnnaK_4ever)

Here’s the @NickKyrgios response so many of y’all were clamoring for. I think he delivered.
But to me the silence of the other 100+ ATP players is far louder and more telling.
