When it gets towards your family members or somebody that you love, this is where I draw the line for respect. Today that line was crossed basically.

Recently, Alexander Zverev has been in the news for hitting the umpire’s chair after a doubles match at Acapulco. Zverev was defaulted from the tournament for his actions. Some fans were peeved at the ATP for not suspending Zverev immediately after his outburst.
