Alexander Zverev has issued a grovelling apology for smashing an umpire's chair with his racket amid calls for the world No.3 to be banned.
The Olympic champion was thrown out of the Mexican Open and faces a big fine for his outrageous behaviour following a doubles match defeat.
After the German and his partner Marcelo Melo lost a deciding tiebreak to by Britain's Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara following a close call, Zverev approached umpire Alessandro Germani and violently struck his chair four times while yelling: ”You f****** destroyed the whole f****** match, the whole f****** match you destroyed.”
