Penalty order reportedly requested against Alexander Zverev on allegation of bodily harm against mother of his child

As per RTL Germany, Alexander Zverev has had another allegation of reported domestic violence levied against him with a penalty order requested by the mother of his child, Brenda Patea.
Patea has alleged bodily harm against her and has confirmed this penalty order has been requested with Zverev not yet commenting on the matter. The full scale and scope of the allegations are not yet known.
Jannik Schneider, a prominent journalist as well as Adam Addicott were among those to report the news from the RTL piece with the former stating that whether a penalty order will be issued is currently being examined.
He goes on to say that RTL wrote that the application for the issuance of a penalty order shows that the public prosecutor's office sees sufficient suspicion of said offense.
While not a judgment, it is a proposal for a decision by the public prosecutor's office and would spare Zverev a public trial. An appeal can be lodged within two weeks. Until then, it is presumed that Zverev believes he is innocent.
The assault allegations came from Patea with whom Zverev has a daughter with. Her management only said that the order of summary punishment/penalty order has been filed solely on the charge of assault with no further details and comment from Patea.
It is another further storm for Zverev who faced allegations also from his ex-girlfriend, Olga Sharypova. She alleged he attempted to strangle her with a pillow and hit her head against a wall around the time of the US Open in 2020.
But Zverev was absolved by the ATP at least who conducted an investigation between 2021 and early 2023 and said he will not face any further action.
He plays tomorrow against Thiago Monteiro in Bastad having won his opening round against Alex Molcan yesterday.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
