German tennis player Alexander Zverev’s trial over domestic abuse allegations made by his former girlfriend has been discontinued.

The Tiergarten District Court in Berlin said: “There has been a settlement between the defendant and the complainant. This settlement is not part of this trial though and the court is not part of this settlement.”

The world number four was given a penalty order last October and fined 450,000 euros (£390,000) after being accused of physically abusing his ex-partner.

Zverev denied the claims and lodged an objection against the order, which resulted in a public trial.
