(VIDEO) Andrey Rublev's anger problems continue, smashes racquet after another loss in Barcelona

Andrey Rublev once again lost his cool after yet another defeat this time at the 2024 Barcelona Open. He smashed his racquet multiple times after he lost to Brandon Nakashima in the second round. He lost the first set 4-6 and the second was tied at 6-6. Going to a tie-break, the American claimed it after Rublev hit a shot long.

Rublev who admitted that his outburst at a line judge in Dubai has knocked him back and has contributed to his poor form smashed his racquet repeatedly before approaching the net for the handshake. For one of the perceived nicest players on the tour, Rublev's anger seems to be his main downfall.

He screamed at a line judge in Dubai which saw him defaulted and also has been seen at multiple tournaments battering racquets and showing his frustration on court. This is another example.
