Alexander Bublik’s On-Court Rage: Racket and Cooler Smashed in Shanghai Meltdown
Tennis star Alexander Bublik had a wild outburst at the Shanghai Masters. After dropping a close first set to Brandon Nakashima, he vented his frustration by smashing his racket into the ground five times, leaving it shattered. He then kicked the broken racket before punching through the lid of a drinks cooler, which caused his hand to bleed. Bublik told the umpire he needed a physio and called for a medical timeout.
