Trial involving tennis player Alexander Zverev called off.

The former partner of tennis star Zverev has made accusations against him related to assault. At the beginning, a judgment mandated Zverev to pay 450,000 euros. But during the Berlin trial, the case was terminated.

The legal battle surrounding German tennis player Alexander Zverev, who has been accused of assault, has concluded without a verdict after three days. The Tiergarten District Court in Berlin has halted proceedings against Zverev.

The tennis player will need to pay a total sum of 200,000 euros. There was no conviction. Although he did pay the fine, there was no confession of wrongdoing. The trial's resolution was jointly agreed upon by the prosecution, Zverev's defense, and Patea, his co-defendant. Both parties aimed to settle the dispute in a peaceful manner, stated the court.

Zverev's defense attorney rejected the allegations on Friday as fabricated. Zverev didn't appear in court. He participated in the second significant tournament of the year in Paris. There, he declared, "I'm certain I won't lose this trial. That is completely impossible."

As per the charges, which were based on Patea's testimony, Zverev allegedly pushed her against the wall inside the hallway of their Airbnb apartment in Berlin during a dispute in May 2020. She reportedly suffered from lack of breath and significant discomfort afterward, shared the prosecutor. These ailments went on for several days.

A penalty order was enforced against Zverev without a trial, ordering him to pay a 450,000 euro fine (90 daily fines of 5,000 euros) for the assault. Zverev challenged this initial judgment. Thus, the case was being heard.
