Fans react as one year passes to the angry outburst of Alexander Zverev

It happened last year at Acapulco. Alexander Zverev partnered with Marcelo Melo to compete in the doubles leg of the Mexican Open. In a match against the pair of Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara. It was here when a tight call from the umpire went against Zverev and Melo.

Zverev protested back then, but his anger went out of control as the match ended. After the end of the match, Zverev angrily smashed his racket thrice on the Umpire’s chair. He sat down for a moment and yelled again at the Umpire. Meanwhile, when Zverev hit the chair, Umpire raised his legs in the fear of getting hit. Moments later, he walked down the chair and left.

ATP acted swiftly and, as per ESPN, Zverev got a code violation and had to leave the Mexican Open immediately. The German later apologized for his embarrassing behavior. However, the tennis fans haven’t forgiven him yet. Here’s how fans reacted as the incident completed one year today.
