A tennis racket practically disintegrated after being slammed on the ground eight times with unprecedented violence.
The Dutch Tallon Griekspoor has achieved this - as evidenced by a video relaunched on social media - after losing a great opportunity and consequently the first set against Alexander Zverev in a match of the round of 32 of the tournament underway in Indian Wells, United States United.
During the tie-break of the first set, the world number 27 failed to score two set points and after losing 9-7 he vented his anger by hitting the court with his racket until it was torn to pieces.
The Dutchman was then eliminated in the third round of Indian Wells by Zverev who reached the round of 16 by winning the match 7-6 (9-7), 6-3.
