I have seen hundreds of athletes over the years lose their cool and let their emotions get the best of them, but this is by far the most extreme. Youzhny actually hits himself so hard he bleeds. He ends up winning the match in the end too.
What is your reaction to this video?
Personally, I'm embarrassed for him. He didn't lose the match and hit himself; he lost a point which caused this reaction. This sort of reaction is never acceptable though no matter what happened. I would suggest some anger management classes and then we can worry about tennis and winning points later. Yikes!
Isn't that crazy? I'm embarrased by this video. It makes me really uncomfortable to watch.
I understand emotions run high on the courts, but come on! I don't know how he recovered from that childish display. And to be in front of everyone like that, to be on stage and act that way, he must be pretty arrogant to think he still deserves to finish the game after behaving so poorly. I'd want to crawl under a rock after the game out of shame...
