• Zverev paused play to hand the woman an ice pack and waited as medical staff provided on-site assessment.
• Tournament director Ralf Weber apologised and offered the injured fan a complimentary season ticket after officials said screws may have loosened due to drumming.
• Play resumed once organisers conducted safety checks on neighbouring boards and Zverev secured a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Marcos Giron.
• Zverev is set to face Lorenzo Sonego in the round of 16 at the grass-court event.
