Alexander Zverev has been handed the harshest punishment possible by the ATP, following his shocking attack on the umpire at the Mexican Open this week.
Zverev’s behaviour came after a doubles match he was competing in alongside Marcelo Melo, as the pair lost to Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara.
Following his defeat the angered German shook hands with his opponents before repeatedly crashing his racket into the side of the umpire’s chair, while the official remained seated.
