Alexander Zverev, the German tennis star who is accused of physically abusing the mother of his child, was ordered by a court in Berlin to pay a fine in the case, his lawyers said on Tuesday.
Zverev, 26, was ordered to pay an undisclosed amount of fines by a criminal court in Berlin for physically abusing and injuring Brenda Patea, a former partner, during an argument in May 2020.
The tennis star denied the charges and objected to the fines, which would likely lead to a trial.
He has been trailed for years by abuse accusations in a case involving another former partner, Olya Sharypova, a Russian former tennis player, who said that Zverev assaulted her in 2019.
Officials at the court in Berlin did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Tuesday evening.
