Alexander Zverev has been fined $40,000 (£30,000) and forfeited his prize money of more than $30,000 for his actions at the Mexican Open.
The men’s world No 3 caused outrage at the end of a doubles match on Tuesday when he repeatedly hit the chair of umpire Alessandro Germani with his racket, at one point almost catching the official’s leg.
