At Mexican Open in February, Alexander Zverev left an extremely ugly image. After losing the men's doubles against Lloyd Glasspool – Hari Heliovaara with a score of 1-2, the German player was out of control. He banged on the referee's seat 3 times, then shouted at the referee's face that 'he destroyed the match'.
After the offensive action, Zverev was disqualified at Mexican Open, although he had not been eliminated in the single content. The world's No. 3 player is also fined 25,000 USD. However, he still had to receive another additional penalty.
Specifically, ATP claims Zverev will be banned from competition in all ATP system tournaments within 8 months. However, this is only a suspended sentence and is valid for 1 year (until February 22, 2023).
Within this year, the German player is not allowed to take non -sports, endangering the referee, the opponent or the viewer before, during and after the match. If recidivism, the 8 -month ban punishment will be immediately enforced.
Currently, Zverev is present in the US to prepare to attend the Indian Wells Masters 2022. This is the Masters 1000 on the hard ground. According to the draw results, the German player is in Group 2 and can meet Djokovic in the semi -finals. However, up to the present time, Nole is still not sure to enter the US to attend.
