(VIDEO) Rare moment of frustration for Alcaraz results in racquet throw

Carlos Alcaraz struggled for much of his match against Ruusuvuori with the frustration eventually resulting in a racquet throw, something he generally doesn't do.

It was understandable as the Spaniard was facing a player who was playing absolutely amazing tennis. Ruusuvuori took the first set 6-2 and it truly wasn't close as the score suggests. He would even apply pressure on Alcaraz in the second set and it almost resulted in another break but the Spaniard was able to pull through.

He would win the second set and then easily cruise in the 3rd set to win the match in the end. Speaking after, Alcaraz admitted it was really tough to win and you can see the level of frustration in the video below. A very rare racquet throw by the Spaniard.
