Kyrgios got mad and smashed his racquet, making tennis ugly, Nadal demanded a serious punishment

(Sports news, tennis news) After shaking hands with Nadal, Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios smashed his racquet and almost injured the ball boy. This ugly act did not receive any punishment from the organizers.

Tennis was once called an aristocratic game, but over time this saying no longer applies to this game. It is possible that due to the development of social networks, the behind-the-scenes scandals of tennis players appear more often, another reason may be because the players have increasingly strong personalities, preferring to react rather than compete.. .

The typical representative is none other than Nick Kyrgios, he is known as the “bad boy” in the tennis village because he is ready to do whatever he has in mind. Most recently, the 26-year-old Australian tennis player confronted the audience, saying the fans “shut up” and hit the racket twice. The situation of smashing the racket at the end of the game also almost caused an injury to a ball boy.

After the match Kyrgios was even more upset when reporters compared it to Alexander Zverev’s crazy racket smash into the referee’s chair. “Bad boy” is still lucky because the racket did not hurt the boy or he will definitely be punished.

“I just wanted to apologize to the ball boy. It was completely an unintentional incident and I feel disappointed at the end of the game,” Kyrgios wrote on Instagram apologizing to the boy, before he also took the racket to give the ball boy.

Unable to bear any more, Nadal called on the ATP to intervene against this type of behavior, he said: “These situations are happening more and more often. ATP needs to take action to stop it. Otherwise, sooner or later something big will happen.”

Nadal has never been angry with racquets, so he is very “allergic” to extreme opponents, he once condemned the smash in 2021: “There are children who love to hold rackets, so I will never now smash the racket. If I lose, it’s my fault. Not my racket.”
