Smashing the racket on the ground,can still be passed out..but smashing the rackets at net is dangerous,by mistake if it slips from the hand it can hit the ball boys/ girls passing by as it can be seen in this video. Novak is irresponsible, bratty behaviour.. nobody should promote this or say this is how he takes his emotions out.. That is not a behaviour to be looked in an idol/ role model.
Fué el mejor del mundo, y será siempre uno de los más grandes. ¿¿Será posible ver otro jugador así con esa mentalidad inquebrantable a pesar de estar cayendo en un partido?? SIEMPRE SE LEVANTA Y SALE A FLOTE👌🏻🙌🏻💯
I'm not trying to suck up to Federer, but his racket-breaking is actually very impressive. On televion I've only seen him do it once, against Djoko at the 2009 Miami semifinal (as shown in this video), when he was clearly frustrated due to his 2008 season because of his nemesis Rafa. For someone who rarely breaks a racket (although he used to have short-temper as a junior), he broke that racket in one throw. That's not wuss. That's actually great strength lol. Try breaking a racket, it's harder than it seems. If it's an old racket for sure it's easy, but pros always get new rackets per every tournament they enter.
Half of these aren't even racket smashes, but rants againts umpires and the like. He used to break rackets early on in his career, but after 2003 it was a very rare occurrence.
Exactly. Smashing/breaking/throwing the racket heavily is different from just dropping it lightly. During the early stage of his career he did the former (maybe except 2009 when he really broke that racket against Djokovic at Miami), but he's overall very good with his racket. After 2009 he literally only dropped his racket lightly out of frustration. The only time I've ever seen Federer break his racket was that Miami match against Djokovic in 2009, that was utterly shocking I remember.
' Don't tell me the fucking rules' I'm surprised he didn't get docked a game for that . Or was this behaviour allowed back then ? Today he would have been punished for talking like that to the umpire
Because he was right in that argument, Del Potro challenged the call after like 4-5 seconds and Federer says that a couple of matches ago he was not allowed to challenge after like 1-2 seconds, so it's hypocritical, right?
@user-pi5zj2gx4s sorry no its not right . Need to understand that you can't just behave like this with foul language towards the umpire. He loses a point , a game or match . He doesn't lose his life. Get a grip mate
