The chair umpire narrowly escaped a major injury. Even after he got down from the chair, Zverev’s assimilation continued.

The Olympic champion and doubles partner Marcelo Melo were furious with a line call during the closing stages of their (6-2 4-6 10-6 tie break) defeat to Harri Heliovaara and Lloyd Glasspool.
Zverev showed a good gesture by shaking hands at the net after the final point. But after that, he suddenly then turned into his rage on the umpire and lashed out at the chair with his racquet three consecutive times. It happened before returning for a fourth crack as the umpire descended the stairs.
