Alexander Zverev agreed to a settlement after the mother of his child accused him of physical violence and a German court dismissed the case on Friday, the French Open semi-finalist’s lawyers said.
The deal, according to German media, includes a monetary condition of 200,000 euros (£170,240), with the player not found guilty of any wrongdoing.
“The proceedings against Alexander Zverev were dropped today by the court with the agreement of the prosecutor’s office and Ms. Brenda Patea,” the player’s lawyers said in a statement on Friday.
“Alexander Zverev agreed to this… in order to shorten the process, particularly in the interest of the child they have together. Alexander Zverev remains innocent.”
The decision came hours before the 27-year-old faced Casper Ruud in the French Open semi-final.
The German was ordered last year by the Berlin-Tiergarten court to pay an undisclosed fine in the case, with his lawyers contesting the court’s decision.
The world number 4 had rejected the accusation made by his former partner that she was the victim of assault and battery during an argument in 2020.
The couple had a daughter in 2021, but by then they were no longer together.
In January 2023, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) closed a 15-month investigation launched after another ex-girlfriend, tennis player Olga Sharypova, accused Zverev of domestic violence.
The ATP cited lack of evidence to justify dropping the case.
