Russian tennis star Andrey Rublev lost his match to Argentine Francisco Comesana, and during the tournament, he took his frustrations out on himself.
Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev entered Wimbledon as the No. 6 seed and among the favorites to potentially win the first Grand Slam title of his career. However, Rublev was met with a tough challenge from Argentina's Francisco Comesana, and, unfortunately, the Russian star was upset in four sets. Comesana won the match 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 . He had 21 aces in the win compared to Rublev’s two.
To say Rublev was rough on himself was an understatement. Rublev was seen smashing his racquet multiple times on his knee after one mistake in the second set. His frustrations appeared to carry over throughout the rest of the match. He later explained that he hit his racquet on his knee because of a rule the All-England Club has about damaging the grass on the Wimbledon courts.
Rublev will now have to re-focus for the U.S. Open later this summer. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
