Alexander Zverev, the No. 3 ranked player in the world, has apologized for an incident that has already seen him ejected from the Mexican Open.
The German was officially removed from the tournament's singles draw after he repeatedly smashed his racket against the umpire's chair following a 6-2, 4-6, 10-6 loss against Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara in the round of 16 in the doubles event.
Zverev's racket did not appear to hit the umpire, but he did approach the man as he exited the chair to castigate him one last time.
