Eugenie Bouchard lost a hard-fought final against Sara Sorribes Tormo when she was trying to conquer her 1st tournament since 2014. However, things didn’t go well and she ceded to nerves in the 1st set when she destroys her racket, in a move that we have also seen from the very best such as Novak Djokovic and Sascha Zverev. Eventually, the world no.144 lost 6-2 7-5.
In a rare display of anger, Bouchard demolishes her racquet after falling behind a double break in the first set.

Djokovic and Zverer
Serbian legend Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev are also famous for their racket smashing. Djokovic has always stated that it is a way for him to relieve tension. The world no.1 has always demonstrated great sportsmanship and therefore it is not something “against tennis,” even if it is not great to see.
