Tennis
The habit of hitting women. Tennis star to pay millions to another victim?
Alexander Zverev steps on the old rake.
The personal life of the German tennis player with Russian roots, Alexander Zverev, has once again become an occasion for discussion. Previously, the top player has already got into unpleasant stories related to domestic violence. But, apparently, life does not teach him anything.
New turn
The accusations against the tennis player were made by his ex-girlfriend, German model Brenda Patea. Zverev began dating Patea in the fall of 2019, and a year and a half later, the tennis player became a father. However, a cloudless family life did not work out: the couple broke up, and Brenda took her daughter with her.
Patea accused the tennis player of abandoning her in her fifth month of pregnancy and did not want to share custody of the child. No other claims were made: the model did not even demand alimony from Alexander. But, as it turned out, the story did not end there.
The Berlin prosecutor’s office filed a petition for a court order to impose a fine on Zverev. Patea accuses her former lover of beating.
Both Zverev and his ex-girlfriend do not comment on the situation. If the court grants the request of the prosecutor’s office, the tennis player can pay a huge fine – almost half a million euros (about 51 million rubles).
Case without trial
This is not the first time Zverev has been involved in such a scandal. He was already accused of beatings by his former girlfriend Olga Sharypova.
Zverev and Sharypova have known each other since childhood, but they began to meet already at a conscious age. After several years, they broke up, and later unpleasant details of their relationship surfaced. In 2019, Olga stated that her ex-boyfriend beat her, choked her with a pillow, and even threatened her with death. As evidence, she published photographs of bruises on her body.
Zverev denied all accusations, and hired the best lawyers for his defense. There were inconsistencies and contradictions in Sharypova’s numerous statements. In addition, she did not want to sue, limiting herself to posts on social networks, and she answered evasively to proposals to transfer the case to a legal channel.
The incident was investigated by ATP, among others. As a result, Zverev was acquitted, and Sharypova was forbidden to continue to make loud statements. The journalist Ben Rotenberg also got it, who actively collaborated with Olga and at the same time had a dislike for Alexander: he was urged to apologize to the tennis player for all the dirt poured out.
The tennis player avoided legal consequences, but his reputation was badly damaged. Zverev was both supported and cursed, and the most ardent haters rejoiced at his injuries and even demanded that he quit sports. All this did not prevent the German from finding a new love: now he is dating compatriot Sofia Tomalla, and so far the couple is doing well.

Alexandra Oleynikova – Madison Keys. Prediction and announcement for the Australian Open match
They will meet in the first round of the Australian Open on January 20. Alexandra Oleynikova (WTA 90) and Madison Keys (WTA 9).
The start of the event is scheduled for 02:30 Kyiv time.
Sport.ua together with a betting partner bet announcing the upcoming fight!
Alexandra Oleynikova
The upcoming match is extremely important for the career of the Ukrainian football player; It will make its debut in the main draw of the Grand Slam tournaments. This success was due to a strong season in which the Ukrainian won three WTA 125 and four ITF tournaments. It is worth noting that all successes were on the field.
Oleynikova is the current winner of the tournament and will start against an overall strong opponent. The Ukrainian did not play in any other tournaments before making his debut at the Australian Open, so his current form is difficult to determine.
Madison Keys
The American athlete needs no introduction; He is ranked in the top 10 and is also the current winner of the Australian Open. Last season, Keys managed to win the first major title of his career and before that he won the title in Adelaide. Then there were still good performances, but such successes were not achieved.
Madison started this season with a tournament in Brisbane, where he beat compatriot Kessler 6:4, 6:3 and then neutral Schneider 6:7, 7:6, 7:6. In the quarter-finals, the American lost to the world’s first racket, Aryna Sabalenka, 3:6, 3:6. There was also a tournament in Adelaide where she failed to defend the title, Keys beating Czech Valentova 6:4, 6:1 and then losing to future finalist Victoria Mboko 4:6, 6:4, 2:6.
To guess
Of course, the tennis players have never met before and Keys is seen as the big favorite in the upcoming match. Judging by the bookmakers’ odds, it all comes down to the question of how much the Ukrainian will lose.
Oleynikova will have to play against a real monster of modern tennis, it is important not to get psychologically exhausted. Although everyone expects a crushing victory for the American, I bet on Alexandra’s success with a match handicap of +7.5 to 1.75, it will be difficult to fight for victory, but it is realistic to impose the fight.
