German tennis sensation Alexander Zverev and his former partner settled his assault case Friday, hours before he is set to play in the French Open semi-finals.
The Berlin Tiergarten District Court announced in a statement Friday that the tennis star settled his assault case with no admission of guilt on Zverev’s part. The court ordered him to court to pay $217,846. The money will go to the state and charitable organizations, according to CNN.
Zverev was accused of “briefly [strangling] his then partner on the neck with both hands in the stairwell of a Berlin apartment building during an argument,” according to court documents obtained by CNN.
