Former world number one calls on fans to "expose" Zverev

Alexander Zverev won the US Open in New York but faced criticism for his behavior during service plays, particularly his habit of repeatedly bouncing the ball before serving. Former top tennis player Rennae Stubbs urged fans to boo Zverev during his tenth bounce as a form of protest against this practice. She called the situation 'a disgrace' and argued that Zverev was getting away with excessive ball-bouncing without consequences. Zverev's opponent in the semifinals, Karen Khachanov, had also expressed complaints about this behavior, while Zverev himself described it as a personal quirk. Finalist Ben Shelton supported changing the rules to address this issue, and former tennis star Boris Becker echoed this sentiment, calling for a time limit on second serves.
