Coming to tennis, Zverev began the season in Australia. He competed initially in the ATP Cup and did not go far in the tournament. Post that, he was seen at the Australian Open and lost in the fourth round to Denis Shapovalov. 

Not the best start to the season 

The result in Melbourne was a disappointment according to his standards. He was seen in Acapulco, but things did not go well for him there. During his loss in the doubles, he smashed his racquet on the chair of the umpire and that did get him disqualified from the singles category.
