ATPTuesday, 08 March 2022 at 11:00
Alexander Zverev won't be suspended from the ATP Tour for his Acapulco incident but he will be on probatian for a year with strict rules to follow.
The ATP’s Senior Vice President of Rules & Competition, Miro Bratoev, has completed his review of Alexander Zverev’s
conduct in Acapulco, Mexico, where the player was withdrawn from the
tournament for Unsportsmanlike Conduct. The review determined that
Zverev committed Aggravated Behaviour under the Player Major Offense
section of ATP Rules.
As a result, Zverev has been issued an additional fine of US$25,000 and a suspension for a period of eight weeks from any ATP-sanctioned event. However, the fine and suspension are withheld on the condition that, over a probation period ending 22 February 2023 (one year from the incident), the player does not incur a further Code Violation that results in a fine for:
- Unsportsmanlike Conduct based upon an act, such as disrespectful or aggressive behaviour directed towards an official, opponent, spectator, or other person during or upon conclusion of a match
- Verbal or Physical Abuse of an official, opponent, spectator, or any other person while on-court or on-site
If the conditions are met, the penalties will be formally dismissed following the completion of the probation period. If the conditions are not met, the penalties will be invoked after any appeal process is exhausted.
