I was going to comment that as a victim of dv this was triggering when I first saw it. Came on here to see if anyone felt the same
Anyone knows the umpire chair name??
He should be banned from the league
Umier are many time peyd to be unfair!
@@Mg-ht8xb for hitting umpire chair.
Danger to women. Danger to umpires. Not a danger to a Grand Slam title.
comment of the century ...
Did you just make this up, or did you wait for this moment to come? 👍🏻😄
the umpire was unfair to him. aren't you too harsh on this guy. ohh, yes it is easy to judge people behind the keyboard
not even a danger to top 10 in slams
Can’t be a better comment
Same guy with domestic abuse allegations against him. Interesting.
I can't believe. He seems so peaceful young man.
@@Coldvader You cant say Germans, not all Germans are like this
@@Coldvader yo that’s just straight up racist
@@Coldvader haha. he has Russian parents and as it may seem Russian education. it's a joke to associate him with the germans.
@@jaylooserocks7129 germans are not a race
Gee, way to erase ANY doubt that anyone had about his ex girlfriend's claims of physical abuse. If he can snap like this in front of cameras, a court full of spectators, and attack an umpire, imagine what horrors he is capable of behind closed doors.
Unreal. I was struggling to believe my eyes.
Or, she could be lying just like soooo many other women have been proven to do.

@@IISG93II or you should learn German and listen what she was talking about.
@@IISG93II You sound like you speak from personal experience. Like to give your partner a pasting do you ?
If he can’t control his temper on national tv, how can he control it in private with family?
You hear this a lot and I don't like it. Lot's of athletes lose their cool on the field of play. It doesn't mean they are all wife beaters. But yes in this case Zverev is a guy that beats women.
Not your problem is it?
Unfortunately you need to fight for your right once in your life time, definitely the referees is an as holes he messup with a lifetime game
Well, if he'll do that in a stadium full of people and cameras what does he do in private?!
hes been accused of domestic violence with an ex girlfriend so thats that
What if he beats up more umpire chairs when he is alond
@@alexflores9582 I don't give unproven accusations any validity especially if they dont even try to go to court but what zverev did here on camera is something that makes me not like him
He was a fine young player,but the last year or so he's become a unpleasant person. The umpires the boss,thems the rules. They were both out,he should wear contacts.🎾🤯
Not That because there's no people or cameras
Zverev is like school on Saturday. No class.
A very intuitive observation and might I add rather hilarious.
... I had Saturday morning music class back in school 🤔
BA dummm tsssss
what a fancy description you've made 😂😂😂😂
I was born and raised in Korea in the 70's. We had Saturday classes... brought back flashback memories.
Zverev is showing himself to be quite a loser for doing that. Disrespectful and unsportsmanlike. It makes personal allegations against him all the more credible.
Yeap. That girl was right.
@tinymahuta I thought that was funny, too. When Singles players play Doubles, they usually treat it like a fun vacation.
Well his character and ethnicity are RUSSIAN!!! 💁🏻♂️😂
Agreed!!
@@SebaStian-ld7um he will probably travel to Ukraine after he gets suspended.
There was a killer Bee about to strike the chair umpire, luckily thanks to Alexander quick reactions he was able to deal with the immediate threat to the umpires life, well done sir 🐝

Where do you think it landed? Looked out to me.
@@deniselowe5136 It was way out
Yeh the place where he suggested it landed wasn't even close to where it landed.
I'm not saying whether it was in or out, just that he was pointing to the wrong place.
@@BubblesTheCat1
It shows a blur when u pause at the exact moment the ball "landed" ... from the camera's angle its not possible to tell if its in or out ..
@@88feji Regardless if it was in or out, even if the umpire was wrong, doesn't give this arrogant boy the right to assault the guy.
Zverev was accused a couple years ago of hitting his girlfriend. He denied it, and I believed Zverev. Now I don't believe him.
@Knights I didn't give a number. I'm sure you can google it and read her official complaint. The ATP is still investigating it.
Was he dating a chair or something?
No one cares what you believe
Innocent until proven guilty. When a rich guy dumps a girl then revenge is obvious. I don't believe in guilty without trial. If he is proven guilty in court of law then punish him accordingly but don't be a white knight.
His girlfriend is a fool because is with him
The abuse allegations seem more plausible now seeing how he gets this angry
The allegations were always plausible.
@@artemisianwell5122 I said they seem more plausible now, never said they weren’t plausible in the first place but ok
Lots of players do this it's not something new lol
@@jaysandhu3345 Sure, that's the literal reading of your comment.
@@pettitlawncarelandscaping419 Can you name any examples? I've been folling the ATP fairly closely for at least a decade and I cannot recall anyone (Kyrgios included(, behaving in a physically threatening way to an umpire.
THE Olympic GOLD medalist....shame on him.
Imagine taking doubles this seriously
🤣🤣🤣
It’s his job man, he’s a competitor so I’d be just as upset
No excuse for hitting the umpire chair repeatedly and swearing
@@ryanreid6248 Then you have anger issues lol
Lol, everyone knows doubles is for people that can't play singles
Interesting, he had to ask his partner whether he thought the ball was out and then he suddenly was so sure about it pointing to the spot! I now root for anyone playing against him.
he double checked with his partner before making a protest
@@TheAustralianHealthShow yes, in the most respectful and humble way.. Poor guy
Actually, he noticed the back linesman holding his hands down indicating ball was in while he saw it out and his partner also saw it out but was unaware of call being in. Zverev saw the back linesman calling it in so he asked his partner if he heard the umpire call it out.
It’s not as if he didn’t see where the ball bounced. He saw it. He was terrible in how he acted either way though. That would be the reason to root against him lol
And he was NOT pointing anywhere near where the ball landed! LOL Watch the video and see.
The more I learn about this guy... the less i care for him
Yes
At least he’s not as bad as Tsitsipas
@@elvisac4425 How?

Seems like the umpire chair isn’t the only thing he’s hitting
???
Accusation of ex girlfriend.
@@sybersecurity277 oh, that. It seems like this behaviour could lend credibility to those accusations
Cruel joke but yeah
Ouch!
So glad he didn't hit the umpire's foot, he could've caused serious injury, totally egregious and unacceptable, deserve at least 90 days suspension plus fined.
It would’ve been a nice payday had he let him hit his foot
I have a feeling he's gonna get 90 days...
There will be a follow up. For sure!
No, that’s only if he was ranked #87 in the world.
Nooo please let him play Miami Open, already bought the tickets 😂
Can you imagine Roger, Rafa or Novak doing this? Impossible. This kid will never be one of the greats
Indeed 👍
@Se-Ra Song lol I could see Novak doing it also😭
Novak shot a ligne judge with a ball
Novak would do it in a heartbeat
Well, is true nobody could imagine Roger or Rafa doing this. I think Novak is not the same. I saw him shouting with rage and wild eyes to umpires, throwing balls recklessly, and destroying his own chair with a racket. So yeah, I wouldn't say I expect Djokovic to do it sooner or later, although if some day happens it won't really surprise me.
He is acting like that in front of the crowd, imagine what he is doing in privacy… Unbelievable. 👎
Well, at least he doesn't post speculative, unsubstabtiated comments online just to get likes
@@Kyrelel if you say so

Use to like Zverev but after all the allegations in the past, and this, I lost all respect for him entirely. Definitely one of the worst tennis players of all time
If I ever had any doubts about Zverev's violent nature, they're gone now. His mask is off.
it is the best to sit behind keyboard and judge people
@@markovic355 he's a POS
Yeah, look how he was hitting so close to his feet over again because he liked making him flinch...
He didnt sleep, was frustrated and in a fight or flight modus.

I always believed the domestic abuse allegations, but this makes it even more believable
Argue all you want if you feel an injustice, however this sort of petulant behavior is something he must deeply apologize for
I read about it in the news and thought that he maybe "only" threw the racket on the ground, but that was actually much worse. I mean he hit the chair of the umpire, not just a little, with a lot of power. I mena the next step would be hitting the umpire. As a German I am really sorry for that.
@@sabedi2129 He will grow up HOPEFULLY soon enough and realize his actions were reprehensible. Irregardless of an injustice on the court you dont exhibit that sort of behavior anywhere in the real world let alone during a tennis match.
There are plenty of other young tennis players who would love to have his spot. Let him apologize all he likes, he is an unruly child, and the sport doesn’t need him.
@@eton13_ Idk man.. he turns 25 in 2 months, he has a pending domestic abuse case over his head and he still acts like this? Seems like there might be something deeper going on than just childish behavior but who knows.
@@telmolicious Without a doubt he has issues
How he is even allowed to play tennis on the tour after he abused his girlfriend physically and mentally which made her try and commit suicide on three occasions is just absurd.
Nothing was proven
Thats just a lie.
But Yeah Think what you want.
I think you killed your neighbour, didnt you?
What he does off court is his business.
@@Eskimo_iio This might be the worst opinion I've ever seen.
I think we all know why he got away with this behavior. He wouldn't feel as though his actions were okay if society didn't cater to him bc of who he is.
Gee, way to erase ANY doubt that anyone had about his ex girlfriend's claims of physical abuse. If he can snap like this in front of cameras, a court full of spectators, and attack an umpire, imagine what horrors he is capable of behind closed doors.
He's a psychopath I feel sorry for any woman he's involved with.
Sadly, I share the sentiment. I want to give a person the benefit of the doubt...but 1 or 2 inches higher, and this is assault. Outburts are sometimes patterns of behavior. He needs help.
Excellent point - and well taken. I'm afraid you are quite right.
I think you're making somewhat of a mental leap to something that have or may have not happened years ago. On top of that it is known lots of women are gold diggers looking to date rich men like Zverev. Chances are she wanted to milk him for money. Their respective lawyers clashed and no evidence whatsoever was found. You shouldn't let 3rd wave feminism cloud your judgement because tennis and a human relationship is not the same thing. Medvedev also has hit an umpire's chair in the past, as well as many other players, are they all wife-beaters? Don't jump to conclusions for which you have literally zero proof.
@@vhyles wow, that was a lot of words you used to tell us all that you're a misogynist. Could have saved yourself some typing.
Abuse of umpires has to stop. Seriously so normalized.
Hahah
When is it going to stop? It's always been around in tennis, right?
That guy has no place playing pro tennis…….he definitely has some issues.
This guy needs someone to put him in his place. 👊 spoiled brat
Go ahead and try
Recall one year at Wimbledon where he pleaded with the umpire "why would you believe him (the line judge) and not me" when the line judge had reported him for verbal abuse🤬

It stopped being a gentleman's sport when djokovic started beating everyone and the media and croud started attacking him.
You are the same people who love McEnroe. Hypocrites.
@@beemars1373 No, It stopped being a gentleman's sports because of Djokovic's aweful sportmanship on court, like smashing raquets, yelling at chair umpire, and hitting line judge. Next generation players faced all of his bad behavior and that's why Zverev did that thing. He learned that from Djokovic for sure.
@@Lepskysenigma There is a difference between misbehaviour in the match and after the match. Also Zverev could have hurt the umpire. If Zverev hadn't smashed his racket on the umpire's chair he would have got away with this.
McEnroe was right in many cases, I doubt if Zverev was right here. Zverev seems to play too much an act here.
McEnroe brought it with more style and humour and won many Grand Slams while Zverev's game suffers from his emotions.
So a comparison between these two players isn't relevant at the moment.
After this episode maybe the accusations of her ex-girlfriend are more credible. This is a despicable behavior and I hope finally he and all players doing wrong things nowadays get severe punishments, not only money, but also months banned of playing....If Kyrgios, Danill, Paire, Novak...had been severely punished, most likely this bully hadn't actED like that.
Kyrgios, Medvedev, Paire and Djokovic never threaten an umpire physically!
Boo hoo
He´s a spoiled little brat. I hope, someday Karma will work for him ...
Yes!
Private violent behavior is always far worse that public behavior.
If he is like this with millions of people watching, the people he knows privately are victims in the making.
TOTALLY didn't hit his girlfriend, though............... right guys? ... right?
This is the kind of behavior that would require a suspension of several months IMHO, it reveals a deeply rooted anger issue.
This ball was probably out, but it's one point out of many in a double's match early in a secundary tournament. Absolutely nothing that justifies this kind of outburst.
it looked on the line to me.
This is ridiculous what he is doing, Zverev should better put this kind of believe in his game instead of this.
lol okay..
"but it's one point" 🤦
Nope his actions are justified he did not hit the umpire. Many of the umpires rig games so I see no issues with his behaviour.
Being taken out of the tournament is not sufficient for such violent behaviour. ATP should fine him and ban him from the tour!
Zverev lacks any balls control under pressure, instead choosing to behave like a 2 year-old brat.
i always gave Zverev the benefit of the doubt on the domestic abuse allegations. I would say "Look...the guy has never shown that he's capable of violent outbursts so I'm not buying it." and so that's out the window
He hit a chair he hits anyone who claims it? Benefit of the doubt is for everyone
Even if someone is actually a violent person
@@robinsoncruise2228 it just shows that he’s capable of bullying and abusive behavior.

He's obviously aggressive but you can't then use that as a basis for him abusing his girlfriend. That won't stand up in court. C'mon.
@@alanchong7513 Well this is not a court, just a comment section.
Bruh one does not equal the other 😂😂😂
This proves his nature, and most likely his domestic abuse allegations seem to be true. This kinda behavior is unacceptable, one of these days he is seriously going to injure an official, they need to enforce stricter punishments by suspending players for these kinda actions. No matter how wrong a call might be, you cannot have physical altercation with anyone after all it is just a sport
Well we can't comment on his domestic situ, I mean let's not have a lynch mob mentality which social media does, but this needs a year ban so he misses all the slams left.
Don’t judge him until the court has deliberated on his guiltyness. This kind of attitude has been too common social media
They used this to fuel the fire and try and win the domestic abuse case, but that's like comparing apples and oranges, Zverev is not guilty, absolutely no evidence.
Does this give credibility to the charges laid against him by his ex-girlfriend?
As his partner I would have had to grab him… I’d be like he like come on dude it’s not that serious enough to get in so much trouble.
Exactly his partner didnt do anything to stop his bad behaviour.
naaah... his partner dont want any of that smoke...
I can understand he's angry but tf is he doing hitting the chair. Pathetic
The chair is calling the shots. That's why they call it the Chair Umpire.
Ikr..
Like what did the chair do to you
I can't understand or accept the anger. Accept the call and move on like a man.
Disgraceful!
Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Child. Actually, even children are better behaved.
Do you still believe Zverev was not violent towards his ex girlfriend (she is suing him for an act of violence towards her)?
The fact he went back up and did it again, that's really bad. He had time to think about his actions.
All credit goes to his parents
I guess his ex-girlfriend got treated like this when he was from a lost match.
Yeah but people he can’t hit her anymore he has to hit something else. He really can’t control his temper. I was the same…. When I was five.
We all need to grow up.
I think that his ex girlfriend is after the money
His girlfriend is a fool because is with him
Imagine this guy in 1940s, he would have made a great SS officer.
Is this a new thing now, disrespecting the umpires? It's gotten out of proportions since Medvedev's rants...

Why? Do you automatically think that she'd be lying?
Innocent until proven guilty. When a rich guy dumps a girl then revenge is obvious. I don't believe in guilty without trial. If he is proven guilty in court of law then punish him accordingly but don't be a mob lyncher.
@@mrabc5092 Seeing as you like the alphabet: a) He did not dump her - she left him…because of the abuse b) “when a rich guy dumps a girl then revenge is obvious” - this says more about you than anything else. The vast, vast majority of women do not make these allegations lightly or seek money. There was no financial gain here. And c) as most people know, the law (and seeking justice) is stacked up against women in these cases, which is why there are so many abusers and rapists roaming free. So yes, innocent until proven guilty - in the eyes of the law, but in my eyes I decide. Having read her testimony (perhaps you haven’t), I believe her.
@@artemisianwell5122 you are the kind who will support Amber hrd. Mob mentality is very dangerous and guilty without trial is way worse. Let the judiciary decide he is guilty or she is lying.

Appalling behaviour. He needs to be suspended for a year for that. Of course, it’s not the first time tennis players have been abusive to match officials, but this guy takes it to a whole new level. And while the dating violence accusations against him are a separate matter and the evidence in the IPV accusations is not as conclusive as it is in this case, i can say that i believe Sharypova now. Again, not saying that her story is 100% true, but i mean, if he can do this to someone with a certain level of authority in a public setting, what are the chances of him doing it to someone with less power than him? And i hope Brenda Patea reverts to her original plan to forbid him from having any contact with their daughter, as he’s totally unfit to be a parent!!
2 year suspension in my opinion. There should be hard written rules of any player attacking an umpire in his chair should be yearly suspensions. Tennis players are a protective species sometimes.
And this guy is wondering why he is not as popular as Boris Becker was in Germany.
Forget disqualified or suspended he should be charged. You cant just swing a racket at someone multiple times.
Settle down, Zverev. You’re a tennis player. You have no right to act macho.
Is acting like a spoilt teenager throwing a hissy fit macho?
Does anyone though? Lol
he is 6’6 and will mess u up anyday
@@falcon00135 while that is true, it's irrelevant. It's just ping pong. even if it were a contact sport, getting confrontational with refs is usually childish.
What does the sport have to do with anything that he's done? Your comment doesn't make any sense.
This is exactly the kind of behaviour you want to battle abuse allegations. Smart, very smart.
Smarter than you’ll ever be
Ok, Zverev.@@lte6983
Off to the gulag with him
KARMA
@Alexander Zverev, what a temper!!!!! That is unacceptable behavior even if the umpire was wrong. The umpire did not deserve to be treated like not! Not only did you profoundly swore at him, you also threatened and intimidated him with your racket. I was your fan but now I’m questioning whether you deserved being cheered/rooted for! Reflect and learn from this! 👎
Him and Tsitsipas are the worse. This younger generation needs to be taught lessons.
@@alexflores9582 agreed horrible entitled attitudes
@@alexflores9582 Félix Auger-Aliassime seems to me very sportsmanlike, evan as Jannik Sinner, both very young players. And, if I think about Djokovic his angry moments, he is not a young player.
Bro no one cares about your opinion, your comment probably wont reach Zverev too, dont know what you want to reach with this comment
That umpire made bad calls 😂😂
True, the ump should get banned.
Everyone loses temper in their life time. Hope he realizes and come back...
Serena Willliams: "I'd have been thrown in jail for doing that"
No lies detected
this is totally shocking behaviour. zverev deserves a lengthy ban. umpires need more protection!
Not cool! Could be considered as attempted personal assault.
Is he actually a tennis player or Putin’s secret agent?
Not to support what Alex did, but, come on, we are already 22 years past year 2000! It's time to require all tennis matches at professional levels to implement FULL hawk eye without linesmen. If hawk eye were implemented, such argument or fight would have not happened.
this is why they need hawkeyes in all tennis tornaments, this would have never happened if there was a hawkeye.
It will always happen where spoilt, over-privilieged, angry young men - who are used to getting what they want - don't get what they want.
@@droge192 not if there’s a hawk eye. this would not have happened if there was one, it was clearly out but with the hawk eye the umpire could actually see it
