Alexander Zverev and Marcelo Melo lost 2-1 (2-6, 6-4, 6-10) in sets.
The German considered that a decisive ball in the third set was misjudged and he refused to agree to the decision.
Zverev then shouted at the referee.
- See where the ball lands!
Damn idiot, you hear in clips from the match.
After the match, Zverev hit the referee's feet with the racket while continuing to shout.
Later came the news that Zverev was disqualified from the tournament due to his behavior.
Thus, he is also not allowed to continue playing in the singles tournament where he had won his initial match.
