ACAPULCO.- Alexander Zverev did not control his behavior when he was eliminated in the doubles game that he lost with Marcelo Melo by a score of 2-6, 6-4 and 6-10. At the end of the match on court 2, upset and protesting, the German tennis player walked towards the bench of the judge, who was still sitting and hit his racket four times against the chair until it broke.
During the Tie break of the third set, the judge marked a ball as good when it touched the line and the point was considered good by his rivals, Llooyd Glasspool and Harrri Heliövarawho at that time, went ahead 9-6 and subsequently won the match.
Zverev, number 3 in the world, was booed by the Mexican fans and still continued to sign autographs before leaving the field.
“Due to unsportsmanlike conduct at the conclusion of his doubles match on Tuesday night, Alexander Zverev was suspended from the tournament in Acapulco,” the organization said in a statement.
Zverev will not be able to play the round of 16 in singles against his compatriot, Peter Gojowczykqualified directly to the quarterfinals.
In the first round, Zverev beat the American Jenson Brooksby in the game that finished later in history (4:54 am).
On the morning of this Wednesday, the German apologized with a message on his social media accounts.
“It is difficult to put into words how much I regret my behavior during and after yesterday’s doubles match. I have apologized privately to the chair umpire that my outburst against him was wrong and unacceptable, I am disappointed in myself. This It shouldn’t have happened and there is no excuse. I would also like to apologize to my fans, to the tournament and to the sport I love. As you know, I always leave it all on the pitch. Yesterday, I gave too much. I’m going to take the next few days to reflect, both on my actions and to make sure something like this never happens again. I’m sorry I let you down.”
