Earlier in the tournament, he muttered “dirty scrum” under his breath.
The petulance drew boos from the crowd as he plopped balls into the net and refused to chase anything down. During the second set of his defeat to Richard Gasquet, he gave up completely. In light of his first round showcase overnight, it wouldn’t be a hissy-fit list without Australia’s own Nick Kyrgios somewhere towards the top. The umpire didn’t replay the point and Rusedski smashed his racket into the grass and lost the next five games and the match. A fan in the crowd yelled “out,” which confused the player and ultimately saw him lose the point to Andy Roddick. Of all the tirades on this page, the Rusedski one from 2003 is perhaps the most forgivable. She was fined, and given her career-high ranking was 275, her name will always be associated with this bizarre dummy spit rather than the tennis she played. The only issue? She missed and hit an innocent spectator. She was allegedly provoked by the husband of her opponent and as retribution, smashed the ball right at him. Smashnova has the perfect name for this type of unexpected outburst.
Proving no player is ever truly exempt from a good old-fashioned toys-out-of-the-cot sulk.įYI: Troicki is a close friend of Novak Djokovic. There are some familiar names in the below list., even some all-time greats. With the first round of Wimbledon 2022 in play, we’ve ranked the 10 biggest tantrums ever seen at the All England Club. Nick Kyrgios has officially arrived at Wimbledon. He smashed a ball out of the court which led to a warning. He argued with the umpire, a line judge, a fan and a steward. But tennis players are human and across the years, the tournament has witnessed some almighty dummy spits, and we kicked things off with our very own Nick Kyrgios overnight. Wimbledon is famous for many things: the strawberries, the Pimms, the pure white clothing, the fresh cut of grass, and all of that gloriously wanky jazz. And it’s even better when the outburst takes place at the most exclusive tennis club on earth.
Nothing is more entertaining for the neutral fan. An uncontrollable, unbridled show of raw emotion.
