The tennis ace completely lost his rag during an unhinged breakdown.
French tennis player Terence Atmane threw his racket toward the stands during a qualifying match against Bernard Tomic at the Shanghai Masters. The 24-year-old lost his composure during the contest, smashing equipment and hurling his racket into the terraces where spectators were seated. Metal barriers prevented the racket from hitting the crowd, and Atmane subsequently retired from the match in the third set.
Following the incident, the world No. 99 issued a public apology, attributing his reaction to mounting pressure from a recent drop in his rankings. Atmane stated that the stress did not excuse his behavior and announced plans to take time away from competition to rebuild himself.
