Alexander Zverev lived a real rollercoaster of a match against Griekspoor in the 2024 ATP Shanghai. The emotions also heated up with some decisions made by Mohamed Lahyani, who was in the chair today. After the controversies with Wawrinka and Tiafoe, Sascha was certainly prepared to fight for any decision… and that’s exactly what he did, claiming that the referee was wrong in a point where a double bounce was signaled. Even though the replay showed that Lahyani’s decision had been correct, the German didn’t stay silent and decided to make some statements that are… interesting, to say the least.
“Why bother playing 89 matches this year… it’s not possible, not possible. Every Grand Slam final I lose is your fault, because of your mistakes. I’m here, working like an animal, but you make a multitude of mistakes. You decide the matches, you decide the outcome of tournaments every week. Why do I do this? For what reason?” An impressive complaint from Sascha who did, indeed, close the match.
😳 Alexander Zverev, to the chair umpire today: “Every Grand Slam final I lose is your fault. You decide the match outcomes”
👨⚖️ The irony of the complaint coming from a correct call by the referee adds even more to his grievance.
🤐 Speechless…pic.com/jpD5NdKHUv
