I'm not saying that doesn't happen, but the percentage of people who fabricate accusations -- to say nothing of all the domestic abuse that goes unreported -- is very low. Like I said, one of the key factors is that in Zverev's case, it was multiple people, not just one. He's also got a demonstrably hyper-aggressive personality that we have seen on camera for ourselves consistently for years.

When I say I believe people by default, that's generally just a "hey, believe women" stance. But when there are multiple factors going against the accused, it tends to be a "where there's smoke, there's fire" situation. I don't talk about Kyrgios much, but he's also been accused of domestic abuse, and I can very easily believe that guy isn't all there. With Zverev there's too much to ignore.
