Four instances when Novak Djokovic lost his cool

#3 Shanghai Masters 2016

Djokovic smashes his racket on the ground

The Serb’s temper got the better of him during his Shanghai Masters semifinal encounter against Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut. His temper loss led him to a 4-6, 4-6 defeat to Bautista Agut, who on the other hand was pretty good on the day. The number one seed found it hard to control his errors and missed routine drop shots and groundstrokes. It seemed as if it was not his day as he finished the match with a whopping 29 unforced errors and a dismal 2 out of 9 break point opportunities converted.

During the match, Djokovic was unable to control his emotions as he smashed his racquet to bits and later asked a ball boy for a towel to clean the mess up. It got worse as he ripped off his shirt in anger on losing a point. He even quarreled repeatedly with the chair umpire over line calls and also complained about it during his post-match interview.
