Alexander Zverev heckled over domestic abuse allegations after Australian Open final defeat
In October 2020, former girlfriend Sharypova accused Zverev of violence and emotional abuse during their relationship. Zverev denied the allegations and said they were “unfounded”.
Sharypova did not press charges, and a 15-month investigation by the men’s ATP Tour found there was “insufficient evidence” to substantiate claims made by Sharypova and so Zverev did not face disciplinary action.
In November 2023, Zverev was given a penalty order and fined by a German court after being accused of physically abusing his ex-girlfriend Patea.
Zverev denied the claims and lodged an objection against the order, which resulted in a public trial.
The trial was discontinued in June 2024 after a settlement was agreed between the defendant and the complainant.
At the time, the court told BBC Sport: “The decision is not a verdict and it is not a decision about guilt or innocence.”
