WATCH | Ryan Harrison destroys five racquets in epic meltdown at Indian Wells

In the deciding set, Harrison was serving at 5-6, and Dzumhur managed to take it to deuce at 40-40. After a long rally from the back of the court, Harrison was forced to rush to the net by a drop shot from Dzumhur. However, the American missed a couple of easy opportunities to win the point – first with a backhand smash and then with a backhand volley – and he decided to take that frustration out on a racquet which was laying on his chair.

That mistake also handed over the match point to Dzumhur and a few seconds later, another unforced error from Harrison, who found the net while attempting a backhand down the line, gave Dzumhur the match, and a passage to the next round. Immediately after losing that final point, Harrison smashed the racquet in his hand. He destroyed three more before heading to the locker room.
