- Less than two weeks after being disqualified from the U.S. Open, Novak Djokovic’s frustration boiled over once again as he smashed his racket in a fit of rage during his 6-3 4-6 6-3 win over Dominik Koepfer in the Italian Open quarter-finals on Saturday.

The top-ranked Serb was broken to love in the sixth game of the second set following which he threw his racket on the ground, drawing a warning from the chair umpire. “That’s how I guess I release sometimes my anger. And it’s definitely not the best message out there, especially for the young tennis players looking at me.

Clearly

Relax... He just hit a ball hard out of frustration and hit someone by mistake...

plz write a story when that clown DjokerNole KEEPS his cool. people r struggling with massive debt, and poverty and this multi-millionaire cant even behave like 7 year old while playing a FUN game. Embarrassing

Since the pandemic started, dentists saw a 6x rise in the number of patients with cracked teeth, due to nightmares and next level stress. You can't tell me that everything's fine and people are calm. 👎

Yeah we are never 100%

Never a truer word spoken, sir.

He's a baby with no control

We knew that.

He’s not wrong.

I hope this tournament is not a joke like usa

The greatest tennis player doesn't need to be the most calm person

If this was Serena the whole world would have already frowned upon her outrageous behaviour 10 times. And it would be the top trending story everywhere.

He has been changed by the Virus

He’s a hot tempered guy. Just sad.

Oh no. The anti vaccine man was at it again. What a surprise!

that's up to him ,, perfect or semi-perfect but the rules should be perfectly applied

He is a drama queen.

Thanks God you are not ! And it’s ok

He was a little frustrated but he did not 'intentionally' hit that person. It's not very strange thing to get a little frustrated. Moreover, he was unlucky that day otherwise none of this drama would happen. StayStrong

Dude needs to chill. Just admit you have anger issues and work on it.

Yer he losers his head sometimes but to be fair he was unlucky to be kicked out of the us open like that he clearly wasn’t looking in the direction he hit the ball really unlucky for both player and women

In football there is red card for loosing cool like that. End of story.

Jedi_Wisdom see. Dude is classless

That's an understatement.

Nobody is. But people can channel their 'anger or frustration' in a much better way. 💕
