Alexander Zverev settles assault case with former partner Brenda Patea
German tennis star Alexander Zverev has settled his assault case with former partner Brenda Patea, a reporter for German outlet DW.
The news was reported by Jonathan Crane, a reporter for DW, who said that the settlement was reached after Patea filed a lawsuit against Zverev, accusing him of physical and emotional abuse.
The details of the settlement have not been disclosed, but Patea's lawyer, Ulrich Amelung, told Crane that Patea was "satisfied with the outcome."
Zverev's lawyer, Michael Mronz, said that Zverev "has always denied the allegations made against him, but he is pleased that the matter has been resolved amicably."
The settlement comes just weeks after Patea gave birth to Zverev's child, a baby girl named Mayla. The couple had been dating for several years before they split up in 2023.
The allegations against Zverev have been a major talking point in the tennis world, and he has been criticized by some for not taking the allegations seriously enough.
However, Zverev has denied the allegations and has said that he is confident that he will be cleared of any wrongdoing.
The settlement of the assault case is likely to be seen as a victory for Patea, who has been vocal about the abuse she says she suffered at the hands of Zverev.
It is also likely to be seen as a blow to Zverev's reputation, which has been damaged by the allegations.
