Nick Kyrgios notoriously lashes out during his tennis matches when he gets upset about a shot or a call, so one might expect he would understand when another player reacted in a similar way.
Well, Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev seems to have changed Kyrgios’s mindset about certain ways players can take out their frustrations. In the second set of Rublev’s match against Carlos Alcaraz in the group stage of the ATP Finals on Wednesday, the No. 5 player began hitting his racket on his knee as hard as he could.
Kyrgios, who was making his debut as an analyst on The Tennis Channel this week, even thought this reaction seemed a bit extra.
