Heard no video was available for this racket throw. I went to check my stream. I am sure Alcaraz will come back to his level and also learn to manage emotions better. He has been at the top level and will be back undoubtedly. And also has all means to work on mental strength.
VIDEO: Carlos Alcaraz loses his temper and throws racquet after shock defeat to Nicolas Jarry at Argentina Open

Carlos Alcaraz continued his mini trophy drought since winning Wimbledon and lost his temper in the process as Nicolas Jarry picked up a shock win at the Argentina Open Buenos Aires. After being the only top 10 player to enter the majority of the South American clay court swing, the Spaniard was expected to win the titles with ease.
But it didn't work that way as third seed and top 20 star, Jarry claimed one of the biggest wins of his career 7-6(5), 6-3 and Alcaraz lost his temper cutting a frustrated figure. With Jarry closing in on the win in the second set, he threw his racquet to the ground after losing a point at 40-40 cutting a forlorn figure. The racquet bounced to the other side of the court and it was the nail in the coffin.
Jarry sealed the win shortly after on his second match point in a loss that by his own admission hurt. But he will have to move on as he plays the Rio Open next week aiming to put this right.

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.
AceOfBase06-05-2024 - Iga never gets an easy draw in any tournament she plays. So that statement is far from the truth. Sabalenka has difficulty because all she wants to do is stand up and serve. She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024
