Atp Acapulco: what does Zverev risk after taking the referee’s chair racket? Fine or disqualification?

Alexander Zverev had already made headlines in Acapulco on Tuesday after winning the match ended at the latest hour in history (at 5 in the morning, ed). The next day it was repeated, this time for less flattering reasons. After losing in doubles, the German literally lost his head verbally taking it out on the referee and repeatedly hitting his chair with his racket. A scene that went around the world and that resulted in the immediate exclusion from the tournament of number 3 in the ranking for unsportsmanlike behavior. An exclusion that also involved the singles draw, where Zverev would have had to face compatriot Peter Gojowczyk in the second round. –
