Former tennis world number two Alexander Zverev has been issued with a penalty order and fined by a German court after being accused of physically abusing his ex-girlfriend, reports say.
The 26-year-old was fined 450,000 euros (£390,000) in October, press agency AFP said.
Zverev denies the charges and has lodged an objection against the order, meaning he remains legally innocent and is not convicted until a final ruling.
The case could go to a public trial.
AFP and other media reports said Olympic champion Zverev, who is playing in the Paris Masters this week, is accused of physically abusing his former girlfriend during an argument in Berlin in May 2020.
