Breaking racket before break(ing) points
Volatile Russian Mikhail Youzhny smashed the same racket nine times, sending splinters spiraling into the air and ball boys running for cover in a stunning French Open meltdown.
Youzhny boiled over after he slipped a set and lost 3-0 to Tommy Haas in the last-16 at Roland Garros with the random act of violence becoming an instant hit on YouTube.
“You try and do all you can to help yourself. I tried it this way, but it doesn’t help really,” said 29-year-old Youzhny, who slumped to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 defeat to Haas on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
