Alexander Zverev left in Acapulco one of the images that will go down in tennis history… for worse. To very bad. The German tennis player went crazy after losing his doubles match in the Mexican tournament and attacked the chair umpire. Obviously, he has been sent off for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Everything happened in the duel of the first round of the doubles draw that the German and Marcelo Melo played against Glasspool and Heliovaara. In the supertiebreak of the third set, the German did not see a decision by the chair umpire as fair and made his anger visible through gestures. But things got worse after losing the game by a final 10-6.

There, Zverev unleashed his anger, went crazy, and began to hit rackets, first against the chair and then against the judge's feet. Minutes later, the tournament issued a statement in which it made it clear that it was expelling the German tennis player for unsportsmanlike conduct.
