Australia's Bernard Tomic has been perceived as giving less than 100 percent in matches, and has even admitted to using tanking as a tactic, earning himself the nickname "Tomic the Tank Engine."

He was back it again Tuesday at the Mutua Madrid Open while on match point against Fabio Fognini. With Fognini leading 6-2, 5-4 and serving at 40-0, Tomic tried to return with the handle of his racket, and failed.
