Alexander Zverev says Mexican Open expulsion was 'biggest mistake of career'

The expulsion from the Mexican Open was the biggest mistake of Alexander Zverev's tennis career, and the worst moment of his life.

If he behaves in the same way at any tournament in the next year, he will be banned from tennis for eight weeks.

Zverev forfeited his prize money for hitting the umpires chair in Acapulco.

The world number three said it was still embarrassing.

It is not a nice feeling to walk around the locker room.

We all make mistakes. I can assure you that I will never act this way again in my life. It was the worst moment of my life.

Zverev smashed his racquet into his chair four times.

He was found guilty of a major offence on Monday. The suspended eight-week ban was followed by a further suspended $25,000 fine.

When asked how he can be sure it won't happen again, Zverev said he has been doing work and meditating.

I think there are stress situations in life where things like this happen. I will be the last one for something bad to happen on the court.

I know who I am and this doesn't reflect on me. I went back to play doubles the same day I played 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884 888-349-8884

I give it my all on the court. A lot of top singles players would have come out to the doubles court if they had lost the match.

I would never hurt anyone.

If he is fined for unsportsmanlike conduct or verbal or physical abuse between now and February 22, 2023, his ban will be activated.

They have the right to ban me if I do that again.

If I do that again, it means I have not learned anything. I think everybody deserves a second chance, but if you do a lot of mistakes it means you haven't learned.
