Novak Djokovic smashes racket in angry explosion as Geneva crowd turn on him
Novak Djokovic smashed his racket into the clay after being broken by Matteo Arnaldi at the Geneva Open. Djokovic was a set up and cruising in the quarter-finals when Arnaldi began to gather momentum in the second.
The Italian hustled his way to two break points at 2-1 up and converted one of them thanks to Djokovic’s backhand going long. Falling back to 3-1 down and staring at the possibility of Arnaldi serving to widen his advantage, Djokovic completely lost his cool. Immediately after the ‘out’ call was made, the 38-year-old launched his racked into the ground and destroyed it with one hit.
