Tennis star Alexander Zverev will reportedly stand trial in May on allegations of physical abuse from his ex-girlfriend.

German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) has reported that a spokesperson for the Berlin criminal court has detailed that a hearing will commence from May 2024.

Zverev, who has continued to deny all allegations levelled against him, is at the centre of abuse claims from his ex-girlfriend, Brenda Patea.

Which ex girlfriend of his is this again? Cause I know he’s had multiple women accuse him of domestic violence. Is this the woman he had the child with that he doesn’t have anything to do with? Or is it a different ex girlfriend?

Gee Sascha, where there’s smoke there’s fire.

This isn't excately news - he opposed the fine and therefor the accusations will be discussed in court.
Has nothing to do with any kind of proof, conviction or something

So hold your horses on any kind of suspension or other talk - innocent until proven guilty as everyone else
Multiple women accusing someone of domestic violence is news. Especially when it is now going to court. This is the mother of his child. Innocent until proven guilty of course but my god, multiple women have accused him, right?

Notice how so many men from Djokovic to Nadal to Tsitsipas to Medvedev to Rublev to Thiem to Raonic to Dimitrov to Nishikori to Federer DON’T have any women accuse them of domestic violence? And yet this guy has had not just one ex girlfriend but another ex girlfriend who he had a child with accuse him? Interesting.

just google Matt Araiza and ask yourself if this is the way to go about with things

If they prove this in court, he deserves every penalty given, but until then let's wait for proof.
Think this way: after Sharypova accused him, it is fairly easy to jump the train as well if there is tension between him and Patea as well

And why bring in any other player into this, it's obviously not a good thing to have, but yes sure let's hack Zverev

It’s amazing how badly you want to paint the men as the victim. I don’t know this Matt Araiza bloke but a quick google showed one allegation. Zverev has had multiple. Including the mother of his child. Why is it that you so badly want to believe that women falsely accuse?

Again, innocent until proven guilty but if your first instinct is to bring up the rarity of a woman with a false accusation instead of listening and waiting for a court decision then it just shows you want to believe the women are lying.

The reason I bring up other players is because do you notice that none of them have allegations? None of those guys. Yet Zverev has had multiple? According to you it must just be bad luck?? Or perhaps there’s a common denominator here?

Matt Araiza basically was accused of gang rape and lost his job, got ripped by all news outlets and online warriors like yourself.
So everybody super happy, men aren't the victim, great.
Only problem - when doing some basic research it was proven he wasn't even present at the accused party.

So we basically have never heard again of the first accusation by Sharypova, I have heard several rumors that there was nothing to prove.
And Patea will now present her case in court hopefully and justice will be served

I do not see any reason for us to speculate about something we don't know

You lost me as soon as you said “you’ve heard several rumours there was nothing to prove”. You heard rumours? Ok babe.

Clearly sounds like you don’t want to believe Zverev could abuse women despite multiple women including the mother of his child accusing him. AND despite the fact the German court system has deemed this enough to go to a trial.

Really sad to see. Again, innocent until proven guilty but you’ve clearly made your mind up by mentioning this random NFL bloke. You don’t seem to think it’s possible an athlete could cause domestic violence to a woman apparently.

The German court system hasn't done anything, here it works like this:

The accuser can bring the case, the court will not check for proof but sometimes just propose a settlement fine and if you object this, it will go to court. This is where we are - nothing has been deemed or proven yet

And yet you’re already mentioning some American NFL player being falsely accused like it’s relevant here. Seems like you don’t believe male athletes could cause domestic violence against their partners? You already claim/want Zverev to be falsely accused. It’s disturbing really. Unlike this NFL bloke, he’s had multiple women accuse him of DV but you made your mind up.

The only thing disturbing is that you jump to conclusions based on a Daily Mail article.
And by the example I wanted to show how this happened before, where cases seemed conclusive to ESPN etc, but fell apart

In turn a career was basically ruined without proof, which is equally as disturbing to me

He will face trial - once again, why would you want to convict him yourself without one?

I never said he was guilty. You’re the one who brought up false accusations because you don’t believe male athletes can cause domestic violence against women. You expressed no concern for Brenda or Olya. Just only cared about some NFL guy who isn’t even relevant here and then Zverev. That’s the alarming thing. You lack total compassion for the women involved. :(

Well, if you want to cheap shot this argument due to the lack of proof, please

I have every compassion in the world and greatly appreaciate the fact that there will be a trial. Which means, if he is guilty, he will be held accountable. If he isn't, he won't.

That is my entire point, but sure drag it down to the compassion for women argument because of your apparent anti-Zverev sentiment

Good god your agenda is getting really tiresome, you sometimes post claiming to believe innocent until proven guilty but you don't really believe that, do you? We get it already, you don't believe him but your constant need to push the agenda that he's guilty and discourage people from thinking objectively on this is really pathetic.

At the end of the day, The trial is set. They can sort it out and present all the evidence and finally put this story to bed, one way or another.

You have two ex girlfriends accusing zverev of this.
Ariza’s scenario was a one night random woman accusing him and multiple men.

Two different scenarios. Zverev’s two long term GFs are saying the same thing.

innocent til proven guilty. these are hard to prove criminally unless there’s pure evidence of it.
For what Sasha is doing in supporting those with diabetes - it would be sad day to hear he’s been convicted as a violent abuser to women.

For me it was very telling that a very unconvincing and weak finding by the ATP's investigation (it is basically impossible to prove these things happen unless there is photo/video evidence of it actually happening/witnesses which basically never happens in domestic assault/sexual assault) that found no conclusive evidence that either of their claims were true or false - was twisted by Zverev into "i was completely exonerated" which was very much not what the report said, and very telling of the agenda at play + all the Medvedev stuff... then you have this case with the mother of his child who chose to not have him in her life, which has German courts finding significant enough evidence to avoid a court case altogether because it was conclusive which gets dragged to a trial by Zverev to draw it out and make it harder for the woman bc again in 99% of sexual assault cases there is some element of doubt because there are only ever 2 people present in most situations, and is usually incredibly traumatic for the abuse victim that they settle rather than go through proceedings and being dragged through the mud by Zverev and the media - no mention at all from the ATP etc... no mention of abuse in his puffball netflix episode.

so yeah glad it will go to trial and I guess the truth will out (though thats actually rarely what happens in assault court cases), but very telling that the ATP, Zverev and most of the tennis media don't really have any interest in touching this story despite it holding some pretty compelling evidence of Zverev being abusive (while the usual suspects go on their - "women are all gold diggers" rants)

This is of course a stupid statement from Zverev, but this doesn't matter from a point of guilt or proof unfortunately.
And I am with you, if there is any proof or conviction, he must be put to trial for this

But I just do not agree with the agenda of convicting him without any trial on a forum just because you want to

And nobody says women are gold diggers or generally not believable, just asking for a trial and not the internet trial

PLENTY of people say women are all gold diggers let's be real. But i think its worth admitting that trials are largely skewed towards the abuser due to the nature of assault and the kind of evidence that is available, and realistically there is much more compelling evidence that Zverev is abusive than to the contrary - which goes completely unmentioned by most of the tennis media (commentators who dared to mention it were told not to mention it live on air/that it was all fake news by Zverev friends in the commentary box like Jim Courier etc...), the ATP etc... while Zverev spins his narrative and gets puff pieces from Netflix that paint Medvedev as villainous? There is not really a conversation taking place about it and that is the problem, everyone just says be quiet about it til its forgotten bc its more convenient for them that way.

Media etc... are also completely ignoring the credible allegations against Seyboth Wild

Unless there’s proof most of them are going To be a “he said she said battle”.

Do multiple accusations hint at it being true? I mean doesn’t look good especially since it’s not two random one night stands but two ex GFs he dated seriously (one I think is the mother of his child).

But I don’t know. I mean the whole world didn’t know the extent of Ray rice when he assaulted his wife. TMZ video showed the extent of it and it was very very very bad.

There is no proof public, zero - there is Zverev saying he didn't do it and Patea / Sharypova saying he was abusive
So currently we need to wait on a trial, with the suspicious fact that it is two women

However, Zverev and Patea were seen together after the alleged events and he had contact with his child again
This must not mean that he is innocent, but shouldn't go unmentioned.
And there isn't any proof, no video or police report, so we will have to wait for trial - until then there is no proof for either side and all we have is press articles

Yeah that Netflix hit job on medvedev was distasteful. During the clips of the Monte Carlo match - Netflix took quotes from med in past press conferences and made him look like he was willing to do anything to win. Which Netflix failed to point out that in that match : zverev won the next game after he pulled the stake out.
And med never abused the time on change over to go take a whizz. I guess folks want to see their opponents pee themselves on court. Seems fair

Deshaun watson never assaulted 28 massage therapists either.

Jameis Winston is also innocent despite multiple women including the Uber driver accusing him of assault.

Long story short- there is rarely evidence in these cases for a criminal trial. Doesn’t mean they don’t happen.

Watson trial: evidence found, he had to settle the case at his expense = it most likely happened
If this happens for Zverev, screw him - if they find absolutely nothing, let's just leave him alone to his conscience

I do love how everyone ignores the fact that the German courts already found "something" about the current case, and he is effectively appealing a guilty verdict, the courts saw evidence and decided he was guilty and should be fined. He has appealed, sure but let's not pretend this is a story where noone knows anything and its just an accusation. It's being appealed, but there is according to the German courts pretty significant evidence that he is guilty.

It did not - as previously mentioned they were unable to find anything but due to the nature of the allegations proposed a settlement fine.
He appealed this and will now argue his case in court.

I remember seeing some story on TV that showed sharypova's (his previous gf's) clothes on the sidewalk during the us open. She said he threw all of her stuff out of the hotel window and locked her out. She had posted a pic of her bruised face in social media, too.

I'm not surprised that his next ex gf is now bringing up DV allegations. Are you?

Like I said in a post above - they may find nothing. Most of these are “he said she said” scenarios bc they come with little to no evidence bc they’re hard to prove. Rarely there are cameras or witnesses

that's not what happened... "In German law, a penalty order is utilised by a public prosecutor's office when it does not consider a trial to be necessary, such as when the case is relatively simple and there is compelling evidence in favour of the accusation. The defendant has a right to contest the penalty order, leading to a public trial.". The German prosecutors office has seen evidence and Zverev was given the penalty order. He is appealing this, but courts have seen evidence. This is not a "we couldn't find anything" situation. The ATP investigation into Sharypova's allegations couldn't find anything conclusive that either proved his guilt OR innocence conclusively (despite him saying he was completely exonerated), but you may be conflating that with the German case.

Innocent till proven guilty, let the investigation take place first . Also, many here spread fake news that he has already admitted the guilt by paying money to her ex.

Justice for Zverev.

That is so wrong...

But it is funny.

But yeah, you can't hit women, Sascha. Damn.

He's lucky he's a tennis player. Because if he played a team sport he probably would have been suspended until everything was over.

I suppose individual tournaments and the slams could deny him entry until everything is over but they're not going to.

The headline:

Alexander Zverev 'is to go on trial in May' to face 'abuse' allegations after his ex-girlfriend claimed tennis star 'choked her against a wall in a row days before proposing' and 'raged if she moved his cuddly toys'​

The thing about that... it sounds like something Zverev would do.

If it were some other player it might come across as something hard to believe. Like if say, Sebastian Korda, just to pick a random player: if his girlfriend said that he did that to her, I would be like, "Wow. I can't believe Korda would do that."

But with Zverev, the umpire chair smasher... yeah, I could see it. It kinda totally sounds like something he would do.

And I guess it's probably not really fair to look at people who habitually smash their racquets on court and think that they would also hit their girlfriend or wife, but eh... kinda.

I know it's wrong to think that, but yeah...

Alex is immature kid , but people are comparing him to Justin Gimelstob which is wrong. I got the sense that justice in Germany is mostly on the side of the women , with abnormal alimony + half of the property of the accused if in marriage . If justice in Britain were the same, half the premiership soccer players would be in jail or penniless .
