Mikhail Youzhny had no trouble swinging his racket during the first round of the French Open. Unfortunately, he picked the wrong round object to aim for.
Youzhny, who is no stranger to meltdowns on the court, was at it again Sunday during a poor performance against Bosnian Damir Dzumhur. The Russian ATP vet let out his frustrations by hitting himself in the head with his racket multiple times.
Youzhny would retire after dropping the opening two sets 6-2 and 6-1. From watching the video, we'll assume the Russian was bothered by an upper-body injury.
