"It's bulls**t" - raged Zverev after rare start of match violation at Roland Garros

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.
