VIDEO | Novak Djokovic shows insane rage; tries to break racquet on his foot

07/14/2018

Novak Djokovic’s frustration knew no limits when his crunch semi-final clash against Rafael Nadal had been called off due to curfew when the Serb was leading on Friday. Saturday saw the Spaniard brimming with energy and breaking Novak twice as he was seen trying to smash his racquet on his foot.

It was always going to be close affair between the two former Wimbledon champions but after the historic semi final between Kevin Anderson and John Isner had emotional drained the viewers, the much more anticipated semi-final had lost much of its steam. But it was Djokovic who went into “Day 2” with the lead after the match had to be stopped due to rule of not allowing play to continue post 11 pm.

When it restarted on the second day, the tables had pretty much turned for the players. Nadal, who was unable to compete with a determined Djokovic on Friday evening, was at his fittest with Djokovic the second best this time around. The Spaniard had already broken the Serb once with the set pretty much ending as many had predicted.

Djokovic looked out of ideas and when Nadal broke him the second time that resulted from Djokovic ending a rally by hitting the net attempting a cross court passing shot. A frustrated Djokovic vented it out by smashing his racquet four times on his foot before looking at the damage. While many would wonder about his foot hitting act, it appears that it was a conscious reaction to the warning he had received for “ the damage” he had caused to the surface in his previous match against Kei Nishikori.
