Alexander Zverev's expulsion from Acapulco Open merited: Rafael Nadal

The Hindu  

German Olympic tennis singles champion Alexander Zverev's expulsion from the Acapulco Open for his foul-mouthed tantrum was deserved said Spanish legend Rafael Nadal. World number three Zverev smashed his racket several times against the umpire Alessandro Germani's chair and delivered a foul mouthed rant at the official after he and partner Marcelo Melo lost Tuesday's doubles match. Nadal's assessment of Zverev's behaviour mirrored that of world number one Novak Djokovic and Britain's three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray, who are in Dubai. Djokovic -- who was disqualified from the 2020 US Open for inadvertently hitting a line judge with a ball -- said he could not "justify" Zverev's actions.
