Tallon Griekspoor lost in two sets on Sunday to Alexander Zverev. The first set was extremely tense, with the German player conquering the opener only at the tiebreak.
The Dutchman had two set points in the tiebreak and led 5-3 in the opening set, but he was unable to convert. His outburst following the first set loss led to a racket smash that is currently doing the rounds on the internet. Here is the crazy video.
