Tennis Star Alexander Zverev Lost His Mind And Attacked The Umpire's Chair With His Racket Last Night - Promptly Kicked Out Of Tournament

World No. 3 Alexander Zverev went nuclear last night at the end of his doubles match at the Mexican Open. It's one thing to scream at an umpire, which we see all the time in sports. Certainly not great, but it happens for sure in the heat of the moment. It's a whole different ball game when you take your racket and smash the poor guy's chair repeatedly like that. The fuck is wrong with you? The officials at the Mexican Open promptly kicked him out of the singles tournament that he had a very high chance of at least getting to the finals of. 

Adding a little more context to the moment here. In the late stages of a deciding tiebreak a ball that Zverev thought was wide, was called in to make it match point for the other side. 

So Zverev is going to get suspended and I bet it's for a decent amount of time. Nick Kyrgios was kicked off the tour for 16 weeks after continuous incidents where he would smash rackets and scream at umpires. The world no. 3 could be looking at a 6 month ban for that shit. 

It's worth noting this is the same guy under investigation by the ATP for domestic violence (although that investigation has seemingly gone nowhere cause the ATP doesn't know what they're doing). Zverev has claimed the woman Olga Sharypova made it all up and nothing happened. Not sure an incident like this helps his case...

An update today however

Here's her story if you're interested. Really scary stuff
