Olympic champion Alexander Zverev has also been disqualified from the singles competition following a freak out following his defeat in doubles at the tournament in Acapulco. After the 2: 6, 6: 4, 6:10 with his Brazilian doubles partner Marcelo Melo against the British Lloyd Glasspool and the Finn Harri Heliovaara, Germany’s best tennis player hit the referee’s chair several times with his racket on Tuesday (local time). Impartial still sat.
Alexander Zverev shocked with outburst after double bankruptcy
Zverev had previously been upset about a referee’s decision. The men’s organization ATP reacted immediately and excluded the 24-year-old from the further course of the tournament because of “unsportsmanlike conduct”.
Alexander Zverev disqualified after outburst of anger
Zverev won the title at last year’s top event. Early on Tuesday morning he had won his first-round match against the American Jenson Brooksby after 3:20 hours 3:6, 7:6 (12:10), 6:2. The game only ended at 4.55 a.m. – never before on the ATP tour had a match ended later. In the round of 16, Zverev should have played against Peter Gojowczyk. The 32-year-old from Munich is now in the quarter-finals without a fight.
Twitter in shock after Zverev freak out
On Twitter, the German tennis star’s freak out caused horror. A video showing Zverev’s attack on the referee’s chair went viral and received numerous comments. “The sympathetic golden boy! Don’t. I don’t know if it’s in the Tennis goes. But that’s why he should be banned for a while. Absolutely unsportsmanlike. #zverev,” this user tweeted on Wednesday. “It’s embarrassing! #zverev”, wrote sports journalist Pit Gottschalk about Zverev’s argument with the referee.
“Alexander Zverev is one of the most unsympathetic athletes on this planet. Hitting the high seat with the racket is an outbreak of violence against a referee, which must urgently have major consequences,” said this Twitter user outraged. “#Zverev should be blocked for a very long time for this. Disgusting behavior,” says this viewer.
The sympathetic golden boy! Not.
I don’t know if it’s possible in tennis. But that’s why he should be banned for a while. Absolutely unsportsmanlike. #zverev https://t.co/UaugNzl5sW

Alexander Zverev is silent on disqualification after freaking out
On Tuesday evening, Alexander Zverev was still happy about his victory in the first round match against the American Jenson Brooksby. “4:54am – The latest ending to a tennis match ever! It’s an honor to be a part of tennis history. What a fight that was tonight @jenson_brooksby!” he wrote alongside a picture of himself posing in victory. But his laughter must have gone by now. He has not yet spoken out on Instagram about his disqualification.
