This, from Alexander Zverev in Acapulco, should have serious repercussions.
VIDEO: Zverev repeatedly smashes umpire's chair with racquet after Acapulco doubles loss, disqualified from singles tournament
ATPWednesday, 23 February 2022 at 21:35
Alexander Zverev lost his cool on Wednesday after his double loss to Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliövaara which saw a 2-6, 6-4, 6-10 defeat at Abierto Mexicano Telcel Acapulco.
He repeatedly smashed the umpire's chair conveying his unhappiness to the umpire by shouting at him and taking out his frustrations.
This was part of a long running list of incidents involving Zverev during the match stemming from a line call that went against him and his partner Marcelo Melo.
As a result, many called on the organisers to do something about it and ban him from the singles tournament which he is still involved in.
They did take this action and he has been withdrawn from unsportsmanlike conduct.
Peter Gojowczyk will now advance to the Quarter-Finals with Zverev initially set to face his compatriot in the early hours of Thursday morning.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
