Alexander Zverev says he would deserve ban if he loses temper again
Alexander Zverev on Wednesday said he would deserve to be suspended if he violates the probation handed down to him for his outburst in Acapulco last month, where he smashed his racquet against the umpire's chair and verbally abused him. The world number three was fined $40,000 and forfeited more than $31,000 in prize money and all rankings points he earned from singles and doubles action at the Abierto Mexicano tournament. Following a review, the ATP issued an additional fine of $25,000 and an eight-week ban from any ATP-sanctioned event but suspended those provided that over the next year, he does not incur any more fines for unsportsmanlike conduct. "If I do that again, they have every right to ban me. It's as simple as that," Zverev told reporters ahead of the start of the Indian Wells tennis tournament.
