This happens approximately 65 times in Challengers, which left my wife and I wondering if that's an accurate representation of Heated Gamer Moments on the court

He's taken off his shoes and one of his socks, and actually I think he's crying

as one does

I think a fun new rule would be that they have to pay one service with the racket they just destroyed

What would people say if a female athlete acted like that?

props to that kid behind him a) for the "SPORTS" shirt and b) for keeping a straight face

Love the kid's sportsmanship, but let's be real, the real MVP is the guy in the background with the "SPORTS" shirt, am I right?

You’re supposed to be watching baseball. What happened to you?

0:30 going back for more angry

Not a good look

*These rackets

Bad day?

I know gamer rage when I see it. That man is destroying his Xbox controller

Those kids behind him are have the opportunity of a lifetime: seeing what a pro tantrum looks like

this is very normal and it's how you test a racket for ripeness that one is ready to eat

i always walk right by the plastic in the produce section. it's like romanesco, i'm intimidated by it. i'm worried i'd just screw it up

I only took a few tennis lessons and I never learned this! Maybe I should have kept at it longer

I can remember a time when such behaviour at sporting events would have been called "unsportsmanlike conduct" and resulted in severe penalties, perhaps up to and including disqualification. Now, sadly in some events...such behaviour is celebrated as "passion".

You can’t get disqualified when you’re already lost. That’s why he went to town on the racquet.

to be honest, with the advent of the internet and constant camera tracking, athletes are criticized for this kind of behaviour more than ever

He’s only hurting himself, his next match is only going to be harder with a twisted racket

between the awkward switch from the overhead slamming into the ground to the awkward sideways slamming into the bench and the followup "ooh, owie! my hand!" move, this may be the least badass anyone has ever looked trashing their equipment

He destroys a $400 racquet while most of us will never have the chance to eat a racquet that expensive.

me when I see a bug for the first time after buying an electric fly swatter

i bet hes thinking "i should be better than this"

I knew John McEnroe, and you, sir, are no John McEnroe.

"He threw five or six rackets into the crowd" I wish I can be so fantastically good at a job that I can occasionally assault a whole group of people because I was having a bad day and not have my career ended for it.

Yikes 😂

Do they have, like a support group to help petulant tennis players deal with their feelings and issues?

Man he really went at it.

So, like, did he win, or...?

There's a Russian player who bashed his knee with his racket, and in this year's Wimbledon after a bunch of sports psychiatry he got to the quarters and was asked what he wanted and he said either to win or to not bash his knee with his racket.
