German Olympic tennis champion Alexander Zverev said there "was no excuse" for smashing his racket on the umpire's chair several times and his foul-mouthed rant at the official was "unacceptable", as he was expelled from the Acapulco Open by the ATP. Zverev, ranked three in the world, posted an apology posted on his Instagram account a few hours after his expulsion. "It is difficult to put into words how much I regret my behavior during and after the doubles match yesterday," he wrote.
Alexander Zverev has apologised for his behaviour after being expelled from the ATP 500 tournament in Acapulco, Mexico, for "unsportsmanlike conduct".
Murray described Alexander Zverev's racquet-smashing spree that got the German kicked out of the ATP tournament in Acapulco late on Tuesday as "dangerous" and "reckless". Zverev went on a tirade against the umpire over a disputed call during his doubles opener alongside Marcelo Melo, verbally abusing the official and repeatedly hitting the umpire's chair with his racquet at the end of the match. The ATP tour announced that Zverev had been "withdrawn" from the tournament "due to unsportsmanlike conduct" and the world No.3 will not be able to defend his singles title in Acapulco.
Third-ranked Alexander Zverev was thrown out of the Mexican Open for violently smashing his racket on the umpire's chair moments after losing a doubles match.
Andy Murray says Alexander Zverev’s extraordinary moment of rage at the Mexican Open was “reckless” and “dangerous” — after an attack on the umpire’s chair resulted in him being thrown out of the tournament. The German, teaming up with Brazil’s Marcelo Melo, seemed to react fairly cordially at the net when they were defeated by Britain’s Lloyd Glasspool and Finland’s Harri Heliovaara, but after the handshake he shouted expletives towards chair umpire Alessandro Germani and then furiously battered his chair, narrowly missing the official’s feet. Ad/> Zverev has since apologised publicly and to the umpire, saying he rejects his actions and that he “left too much” out on the court.
