A fan was ejected from a U.S. Open tennis match early Tuesday morning after German player Alexander Zverev complained the man used language from Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime.
Zverev, the No. 12 seed, was serving at 2-2 in the fourth set of his match against No. 6 Jannik Sinner when he suddenly went to chair umpire James Keothavong and pointed toward the fan, who was sitting in a section behind the umpire.
“He just said the most famous Hitler phrase there is in this world,” Zverev told Keothavong. “It’s not acceptable.”
…
“He started singing the anthem of Hitler that was back in the day. It was ‘Deutschland über alles’ and it was a bit too much,” Zverev said.
Shoutout to Germans and their zero tolerance policy and these sorts of shenanigans.
Alexander Zverev
Yeah, Germans
I wish they’d identify the fan. Fuck that guy.
Nah they don’t deserve their name in the papers in any way
At least all over social media. Let his bosses and customers learn about it and ruin his life.
We should be able to make mistakes.
That was an on purpose. Guy was warned about it, did it again. Fuck him.

German player Alexander Zverev
:)))))))
Very German.
He was born in Germany and is a German citizen, so yes.
His parents are of Russian origin though and probably German citizens by now.
