Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Alexander Zverev was put on probation for one year by the ATP on Monday for violently hitting the chair umpire's stand repeatedly with his racket following a loss in doubles at the Mexico Open.
Serena Williams has called out a “double standard” in tennis following the repercussions of Alexander Zverev’s vicious outburst at the Mexican Open.
Serena Williams says she would «probably be in jail» if she behaved the same way as Alexander Zverev did in Acapulco last week. Zverev was thrown out of the ATP 500 tournament in Mexico and fined $40,000 (£30,000) for smashing his racquet against umpire Alessandro Germani's chair after losing his first round doubles match against Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara while partnering Marcelo Melo.

He was fined $40,000 by the ATP and the German admitted his behaviour was "unacceptable". He has now opted to play for Germany against Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on March 4/5.

ACAPULCO, Mexico: Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Alexander Zverev was fined $40,000 by the men’s professional tennis tour and will forfeit more than $30,000 in prize money and all rankings points from the Mexican Open after hitting the chair umpire’s stand with his racket following a loss in doubles.
