Due to unsportsmanlike behavior, the German was disqualified from the singles tournament. «It is difficult to put into words how much I regret my behavior during and after yesterday's doubles match. I personally apologized to the referee on the platform because my outburst of anger towards it was wrong and unacceptable, I was only disappointed with myself. This simply should not have happened and there is no excuse for this. I would also like to apologize to the fans, the tournament and the sport that I love. As you know, I leave everything on the court «Yesterday I left too much. I'm going to spend the next few days thinking — about my actions and how I can ensure that this does not happen again. I'm sorry I let you down,» Zverev wrote on his Instagram page .
