Brittany Gilbert+FollowZverev’s Phone Pic Sparks Madrid DramaDid anyone catch Sascha Zverev’s latest clay court controversy at the Madrid Open? The top seed got hit with a warning after snapping a photo of a disputed ball mark—right in the middle of another heated line-calling debate.

Is tech really improving the game, or just fueling more drama? #MadridOpen #Zverev #TennisDrama #LineCallControversy #ClayCourt #Sports30Share
