Alexander Zverev was handed a suspended eight-week ban for an outburst at Acapulco. During the incident, Zverev verbally abused chair umpire Alessandro Germani and hit the chair umpire’s chair four times.

Fans have been critical of the ATP for not giving Zverev a stronger punishment. Zverev represented Germany just a week after the incident.

But Zverev said that he has been meditating in an attempt to handle these types of situations in the future. Zverev said:

It still is embarrassing for me. Walking around the locker room, it’s not a nice feeling. But we all do mistakes. I’m also a human being, and I can guarantee you I will never act this way again in my life. It was definitely the worst moment of my life.

I’ve been doing work, meditation-wise. There are stress situations in everyone’s life where stuff like this happens. I’m not the first, I won’t be the last for something bad to happen on the court.

I know who I am as a person and this doesn’t reflect on me. I have played until 5 am the day before – the same day I went back to play doubles.

Alexander Zverev‘s suspended sentence means that any unsportsmanlike conduct or abuse until February 2023 will result in a ban. But Zverev is hopeful that he can be in his good behavior going forward.

Five-time Olympic medalist and a two-time World champion Wendy Holdener  was star struck after meeting Roger Federer at an alpine ski race. Federer was attending the race with his family. He has been away from the tour since Wimbledon last year.

He also gave an interview to SRF in which he said talked about his knee surgery last year. His rehab process has been long but a recent MRI has been positive. But his comeback will be in late summer or fall. That mean’s missing Wimbledon.

Many Federer fans will miss Federer at Wimbledon this year. But at least, he hasn’t hung up his racquet. Federer has a long way to go regain fitness and playing competitive tennis again.

While Federer was away from the game, Rafael Nadal beat his record of 20 grand slams. Novak Djokovic has also matched his 20 grand slams. But Federer remains very popular among fans compared to Nadal and Djokovic.
