Because of the curse word in Wimbledon: linesman tells Zverev, he freaks out

class=”sc-29f61514-0 fQbOYE”>

First of all, Alexander Zverev (25) is lucky. If a “fucking shit” slips out after a failed ball, the chair umpire doesn’t hear it. But the German makes the bill without the linesman.

Because she hears the German’s outburst, goes to the referee and betrays Zverev. The result: the tennis star was warned about “audible obscenities”.

Of course the 25-year-old is disappointed. “Really? I was talking about my foot and not anything on the pitch. Does it really have to be that important?” He etched towards the referee.

Then he follows angrily in an interview with Sky. “It annoys me because somehow that only happens at Wimbledon. At Wimbledon everyone can feel like they have to do more than they should.” He spoke out loud, everyone heard. “The referee heard it himself. So there is no reason for the linesman to run there. It was relatively clear what I said,” said Zverev.

“There are situations where you got away with a lot more,” he said, admitting, “Yeah, I used a swear word — the F word.”

After all, Zverev still wins the match in four sets. In round three he will meet the Italian Matteo Berrettini on Saturday. (SME)
