Medvedev Destroys Racket In Paris

Daniil Medvedev had a rather disappointing opening match in Paris on Wednesday when he lost to an in-form Alex De Minaur 6-4 2-6 7-5. Daniil was visibly nervous for a good part of the match. He ended up the contest in the worst possible way: he was broken in the last game after committing 2 double faults (the last one on match point). Soon after the last point, Daniil destroyed his racket. This is the video.
