The ATP cited insufficient evidence as its reason for dropping the case.<\/p>\n<p>Zverev is currently playing at the Paris Masters, where he beat Marton Fucsovics 4-6 7-5 6-4 on Tuesday.

It is unacceptable,&#8217; Hamburg-born Zverev told British umpire James Keothavong after hearing a slur from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Following the game, Zverev told a reporter that the supposed fan had been singing the &#8216;anthem of Hitler&#8217; &#8211; the banned first\u00a0 verse of the original German National anthem.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He started singing the anthem of Hitler that was back in the day. It was `Deutschland \u00fcber alles&#8217; and it was a bit too much,&#8217; the Hamburg-native said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I love when fans are emotional. But I think me being German and not really proud of that history, it&#8217;s not really a great thing to do and I think him sitting in one of the front rows, I think a lot of people heard it.
