The Olympic men’s tennis champion, Alexander Zverev, has been issued a penalty order for bodily harm against his ex-girlfriend and fines totalling €450,000 (£392,000) by a court in Germany.
A spokesperson for the Berlin criminal courts confirmed to the Guardian that the Tiergarten district court issued an order against Zverev on 2 October. Zverev is accused of physically abusing a woman and damaging her health during an argument in Berlin in May 2020. Zverev has received a fine of 90 daily rates of €5,000, totalling €450,000. Zverev denies the charge and has lodged an objection against the order.
