I thought he had moved beyond all of this? I guess that was only in terms of the ATP?

This is his 2nd assault charge, this ex girl friend is the mother of his child

Ooof! Well this is the second allegation of assault for Zverev. It is definitely not a good look, and while I like to give BOD while things play out. When it comes from a second source, it is hard to not believe there is a level of truth to it.

Yes this assault charge his second, is from another ex girl friend the mother of his child, apparently further reading Ms Patea has not made any financial claims against Zverev

Ah, OK. Thanks for the clarification.

Tim van Rijthoven ( announced on instagram) has undergone surgery on his right elbow, it has been bothering him a lot throughout his career and he has tried to fix it by doing all kinds of treatment but to no real success. Tim is confident this surgery will help him get back at the level he was and more.
