Tennis Star Alexander Zverev Fights $475,000 Fine Over Domestic Violence Allegations Against Ex-girlfriend

German court issues penalty order for abuse claims from Zverev's ex-girlfriend Brenda Patea during 2020 altercation, Zverev disputes the fine as well as previous allegations of abuse from another ex-girlfriend.

Alexander Zverev, notable German tennis player, received a penalty order from a Berlin court over allegations of physically abusing his ex-girlfriend Brenda Patea in 2020.
The court has demanded Zverev to pay fines totalling to 450,000 euros ($475,000). This allegation has come from Brenda Patea, the mother of Zverev's daughter.
Zverev's legal team from Schertz Bergmann has dismissed the allegations. They consider there were procedural irregularities in the case and they have expert medical evidence in Zverev’s favor.
Due to Zverev disputing the order, it is likely this case will head to trial at the Tiergarten district court in Berlin.
This isn't the first time when Zverev has faced allegations of abuse. His former girlfriend, Olga Sharypova, accused him of domestic abuse but the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) found 'insufficient evidence' to substantiate those claims in a previous investigation.
