German tennis player Alexander Zverev has been expelled from the Mexican Open after he lashed out at an umpire’s chair with his racket.
The 24-year-old Zverev hit the umpire Alessandro Germani’s chair multiple times and verbally abused him following a doubles match in Acapulco.
World number three lost his temper when he and Brazilian partner Marcelo Melo were defeated by Lloyd Glasspool from the UK and Harri Heliovaara of Finland 6-2, 4-6 and 10-6 in men’s round of 16 doubles match.
