World No. 3 Alexander Zverev was kicked out of the ATP 500 tournament in Acapulco for ¡°unsportsmanlike conduct¡± after repeatedly smashing his racket against the umpire¡¯s chair following a loss in the doubles competition.
The German later apologized for his behavior after he and Brazil¡¯s Marcelo Melo lost 6-2, 4-6 (10-6) to Britain¡¯s Lloyd Glasspool and Finland¡¯s Harri Heliovaara.
Zverev came perilously close to hitting umpire Alessandro Germani during his tantrum in Mexico.
