Zverev is ticking: That’s what Djokovic says about the tennis scandal – sport mix

Fans have never seen such a freak out … and neither have his tennis colleagues.

Alexander Zverev went completely nuts in Acapulco, Mexico, after losing in doubles – hit the referee’s chair several times with a tennis racket.

Nadal and Djokovic speak out

Djokovic told Serbian media: “The disqualification wasn’t too hard. I think she was right under the circumstances. Of course it’s tough for a player to be disqualified from a tournament.”

He continues: “I’ve made mistakes in the past that have thrown me into tantrums on the pitch. I understand what the player is going through. But of course, his actions are unjustifiable.”

Record Grand Slam winner Nadal also commented on Zverev’s behavior: “I think he deserves the penalty because you’re not allowed to act like that on the pitch.”

He continued: “I hope it’s a learning curve for him and for other young players who lose their nerve.”
