Zverev was eliminated from the Mexican Open 2022 after the incidents occurred when he attended the men's double content. He and Marcelo Melo lost to Lloyd Glasspool – Harri Heliovaara with a score of 1-2 on Tuesday (February 22) local time.
During and after this defeat, the world's No. 3 player beat the race to the referee's seat 3 times. Not stopping there, Alexander Zverev also shouted at the referee's face that 'he destroyed the match'.
The organizers decided to type the 24 -year -old player from Mexican Open 2022. This means that Zverev no longer has the opportunity to defend the championship of men's singles. His opponent in the second round is Peter Gojowczyk straight in the third round.
Feeling regret for his improper actions and words, Alexander Zverev apologized. He was disappointed with himself and promised not to let the same thing recurred in the future.
“It is difficult to describe in words that I regret my behavior during and after the match last night. I am really disappointed with myself. It should not happen and there is no reason to defend.
I will take the time to ponder seriously about what happened. I can guarantee that it doesn't recur again. I'm sorry for making your supporters feel disappointed”, Zverev wrote on his personal Instagram page.
Alexander Zverev has not achieved positive results since he entered 2022. Before being eliminated from Mexican Open, the 24 -year -old also left the Australian tournament from the fourth round.
