Alexander Zverev's ex-girlfriend & mother of his child Brenda Patea denies making financial claims in new assault allegations

Alexander Zverev's ex-girlfriend and mother of his child Brenda Patea has confirmed that she has not filed any financial complaint against the German. She has, however, raised allegations of bodily harm.

Patea started dating Zverev in 2019 and gave birth to their daughter in 2021. The couple cited differences in their overall outlook on life as the reason for their eventual split, with Patea announcing that she would not share custody of her child with the 26-year-old.

In the latest update surrounding their seperation, Patea has accused Zverev of causing bodily harm, for which she has applied for a penalty order. However, she has denied making any financial complaints against the World No. 19.

"Official statement on the current RTL coverage of Brenda Patea: In this regard, we state that the public prosecutor responsible informed us today that he has applied for a penal order to be issued against Mr. Zverev on the basis of the allegation of bodily harm to the detriment of Ms. Patea. We would also like to clarify that Ms. Patea has not made any financial claim against Mr. Zverev," Brenda Patea's Instagram story read.

Alexander Zverev was under investigation over accusations of assaulting another ex-girlfriend of his, Olga Sharypova, for more than three years. While the German was cleared of all charges in that case earlier this year, he has found himself in hot waters again with the latest allegations.

If the court decides to award a penalty order in Patea's case, Zverev will be given two weeks' time to raise an objection against his ex-girlfriend's verdict.
