But there’s a catch: Zverev will not received the suspension or fine if he does not incur a further Code Violation before his probation period ends on 22 February 2023.
Here’s the statement from the ATP:
“Zverev has been issued an additional fine of US$25,000 and a suspension for a period of eight weeks from any ATP-sanctioned event. However, the fine and suspension are withheld on the condition that, over a probation period ending 22 February 2023 (one year from the incident), the player does not incur a further Code Violation that results in a fine for:
Unsportsmanlike Conduct based upon an act, such as disrespectful or aggressive behaviour directed towards an official, opponent, spectator, or other person during or upon conclusion of a match.
Verbal or Physical Abuse of an official, opponent, spectator, or any other person while on-court or on-site.
If the conditions are met, the penalties will be formally dismissed following the completion of the probation period. If the conditions are not met, the penalties will be invoked after any appeal process is exhausted.”
