Videos - Rublev flips out again against Cerundolo at Paris-Bercy!
Andrey Rublev cracked again this Tuesday on Court n°1 of the Accor Arena in Paris. Facing Francisco Cerundolo in the 2nd round of the Rolex Paris Masters, he seemed to have the upper hand in both sets.
He led 5-2 in the first, then 4-2 in the second, before losing the thread of his tennis each time. In the end, he lost in almost two and a half hours (7-6, 7-6).
This scenario put the Russian's nerves to the test, provoking several angry outbursts from him. In particular, he tried to calm his frustration by hitting himself on the knee with his racket (see video below).
The whole thing had an air of déjà-vu about it, as Rublev is no stranger to this gesture, which once again resulted in him ending up with a bloody knee. In addition, he threw a bottle and shouted a huge "shut up" after missing a return of serve (see videos below).
