Tennis - Extractor Extrusion in Acapulco: ZVERV playful title chance and sympathy

A heavy outraster comes Alexander Zverev expensive to stand: The German number one must pack the suitcases in Acapulco - and play sympathy.

Alexander Zverev was horrified by himself. The pictures, as he cursed wildly on referee Alessandro Germani and then repeatedly beats his racket against the high chair of the Italian, the German number one did not let go of the German number one in a short night. In the morning (local time) after his polling outraster, the world ranking crystal showed heavily crumpled.

"It's hard to summarize how much I behave my behavior during and after yesterday's doubles," wrote the 24-year-old Hamburger in the social media after being disqualified by ATP for the remaining tournament course in Acapulco: " I apologized privately to the chair referee, because my outbreak was wrong and unacceptable to him, and I'm only disappointed with myself. "

The Olympic champion and athlete of the year had not least played the chance of defense in individual with his indiscutable appearance, he also added fresh scratches to his cumbersome-polished image. In Rage, Zverev had a supposed absence decision in Tiebreak at 2: 6, 6: 4, 6: 10-eighth final defeat in double with his buddy Marcelo Melo against a British Finnish duo. Even during the game, Germany's number one had called the referee as a "damned idiot", after the match he left his whole rage unfiltered.

A behavior that the organizers did not tolerate and Zverev took from the tournament for "unsportsible behavior". The German duel with Peter Gojowczyk was burst, the Munich moved to the quarter-finals. "It just could not have happened, and there is no excuse," Zverev wrote on Wednesday just before 7 o'clock local time. He wanted to use the coming days to think about his "deeds" and think about "how I can make sure that something does not occur again".

"Mitigating circumstances"? Hordorff takes Zverev in protection

Previously, Dirk Hordorff, Vice President of the German Tennis federal (DTB), had considered disqualification as quite strictly. "I do not want to doubt her, but many players have already been less punished," he said. Hordorff stood in the SID conversation in front of Zverev. In general, players with "corners and edges" and "a little rebellion" would do the tennis well.

"There are rules of tennis and also the decency, and he has to hold himself as a professional in bridle," said the long-standing official: "But I will not break the rod about him either. I like the boy, he has a lot of temper. "

Hordorff also raised the question of whether for ZVEREV after the historical night shift would not consider something like "mitigating circumstances". The world ranking crystal had only defeated the American Jenson Brooksby at 4:44 local time at the early Tuesday morning. No match had come to the end of Tournevel. The game with his friend Melo, the Zverev apparently meant a lot, then rose in the evening of the same day. For Hordorff a "unding".

Zverev had recently noticeably emphasized an improved external representation. The times when the former US Open Finalist regularly chopped his rackets or, too, wrapped his father's desire as the ATP Cup 2020 actually rails. On a highly successful second half of 2021 with the Triumph in Tokyo and the victory with the ATP Finals in Turin, the surfaces wanted to build seamlessly in this spring - but so far it works very differently than hoped.
