Alexander Zverev He finds himself in an argument over and over again. This time he was in the negative limelight for his quirks on the field. A few weeks ago at the Mexican Open, after a doubles match, Zverev, dissatisfied with some calls, angrily attacked the referee’s chair and broke his racket. Due to his inappropriate behavior, Zverev was expelled from the tournament.
He later apologized unconditionally for the moment with his brain fading, but the tennis community has called for stricter penalties to set the right example. He was later paroled by the ATP and fined. To date, many feel that the penalty is too light for him and should be suspended for a few tournaments.
However, no such measures were taken and currently Greman World No.3 plays the Monte Carlo Masters. Tennis legend Justine Henin also feels that Zverev has crossed the line and should be severely punished. Speaking to Eurosport Tennis Club, Henin said you can’t yell at the referee against any intent, and in the midst of it all, due to his anger and the intimidation factor, Zverev shouldn’t be allowed to compete at Monet Carlo today.
“We must take action” said Henin. “We hope that concrete steps will be taken to stop these excesses. You can’t yell at a referee. Even without the intention, breaking a racket flying up to a baseball player is a problem. You may be tired… but we will never see images of Alexander Zverev again. These are behaviors of intimidation and anger that we cannot see and that we should punish much more severely.”
“Alexander Zverev should not be on the field today.” he added,
