Alexander Zverev won his 2nd round Roland Garros match but before it even began he raged about the clock.
It was a good day on the court for Alexander Zverev who moved past Roman Safiulin in straight sets at Roland Garros. The victory is a good one, especially after his 5-setter in the first round, but before the match began, he was raging about the clock.
Both Zverev and his opponent got a rare 'start of match' violation as neither players were ready to play on time. Players get a minute after the warm-up concludes to prepare and get ready on the baseline but neither Zverev nor his opponent did that.
Zverev did not like the call and he raged:
"At four seconds I was at the baseline. I looked at [the clock], at four seconds I was here at the baseline. This time it’s bull***t, I’m sorry."
Zverev cooled off pretty quickly and continued the match without raging anymore. He would go on to win the match 7-6(4) 6-3 7-6(1) moving to French Open R3. He trailed in those sets but came back to win proving the situation did not bother him throughout the match.
