"Baffled that he's still allowed to play": Alexander Zverev condemned by fans after assault fine
ATP
Fans reacted against Alexander Zverev after being fined in Germany for bodily harm to his former girlfriend and mother of his daughter, Brenda Patea.
The Berlin prosecutor's office filed an application for a criminal order against the former world No. 2 in early 2023, accusing him of violence against his ex-girlfriend Brenda Patea, which resulted in physical injuries.
This is not the only case involving Zverev in relation to violence, as his former girlfriend Olya Sharypova also came forward in the media, alleging a similar situation in which she had been a victim of mistreatment by the German.
As reported, a district court in Berlin issued the judgment. His name does not appear in the verdict, but it has been stated by the lawyers defending the tennis player who maintain his innocence and aim to prove it in the trial they consider necessary.

The law firm Schertz Bergmann, representing the player, stated:
"The procedure is scandalous, it cannot be a question of a fair, constitutional procedure. Zverev will take action against this by any means available."
In response, fans used social media to condemn Alexander Zverev for being involved in cases of gender violence and even called on the ATP to take action against the tennis player to prevent him from participating in the Tour.
“Alexander Zverev has been issued a penalty order for bodily harm against his former girlfriend and fines totalling €450,000 by a German court. Zverev has objected to the penalty order, meaning it will likely go to public trial.”
"We all know he did it. Baffled that he’s still allowed to play on the tour," a fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
"Wild that Alexander Zverev will walk on court tomorrow to play a match on the ATP Tour as if nothing's happened," the fan posted.
