Alexander Zverev Settles Assault Case Hours Before French Open Semi-Final
Accused of Physical, Tennis Star Reaches Agreement with Former Girlfriend
Zverev Fined and Given Penalty Order in 2023
World number four Alexander Zverev has settled the assault case relating to domestic abuse charges brought by his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child, Brenda Patea.
The settlement comes just hours before Zverev is scheduled to play in the semi-final of the French Open. In November 2023, Zverev was given a penalty order and fined by a German court after being accused of physically assaulting Patea during a relationship that ended in 2020.
The details of the settlement have not been disclosed, but it is believed that Zverev has agreed to pay Patea a substantial sum of money in exchange for her dropping the charges.
The settlement is a significant development in the case, which has been ongoing for over two years. It is unclear whether Zverev will face any further legal action or disciplinary proceedings from the ATP Tour.
