(VIDEO) Hailey Baptiste smashes racket to floor after missing six match points in dramatic tiebreak against Belinda Bencic

Hailey Baptiste and Belinda Bencic played out an out of this world tiebreak in the Madrid Open fourth round. Both players wasted in total 12 set of match points, losing their cool on court as the crowd watched on flabbergasted in what they were seeing. Bencic sealed it 16-14, forcing a third set.

Baptiste started the match in fine form, going 5-0 ahead before sealing a 6-1 scoreline for the first set. She was looking good to confirm a second consecutive quarterfinal in WTA 1000 tournaments.

The second set was much tighter. It went to 5-5 before Baptiste managed to break the Bencic serve, offering her a chance to serve the match out. After defeating Jasmine Paolini in the prior round, it looked for all certainty that another big win was set to be confirmed for the American. However, this was not the case.

Bencic survived a match point thanks to a double fault, a pattern that will continue later, and forced a tiebreak in the nick of time, keeping her hopes in this match alive.

What would follow was a hugely dramatic tiebreak which left both players extremely frustrated and angry at themselves as chance after chance came and went. Baptiste had the first two, double faulting at 6-4 ahead before seeing the Swiss get ahead back on level terms.

It would then be Bencic's turn to miss three consecutive set points as the crowd on Arantxa Sanchez Stadium were on the edge of their seats, in disbelief in what they were watching.

Two more chances came for Baptise, but incredibly once more she double faulted at 11-10, gifting Bencic a pathway back to a level score. She then repeated the events to offer her rival another set point. She laughed the prior one off, this time she completely lost it. After the 'out' call was uttered, Baptiste slammed her racket on the clay floor, completely destroying it as she trudged over to her chair to collect a new one.

incredibly the tiebreak would continue as each player missed another match or set point each respectively. Finally, at 15-14, Bencic got over the line with her sixth set point to force a third and deciding set.

It was painful viewing for Baptiste fans. Those double faults proved to be costly, making up part of the six match points squandered, five in the tiebreak.

Baptiste would eventually get the last laugh. The 24-year-old kept her composure after that whirlwind of a tiebreak which was very emotional and stressful for her. She broke the Bencic serve to go 4-2 ahead and was much more clinical when serving it out. With her seventh match point, she finally gets over the line. Either world number one Aryna Sabalenka or four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka will be her test in the last-eight.
