Fabio Fognini is having a harder time than he expected against the Netherlands' Gilles Muller at the Australian Open.
Coming in as the tournament's 20th seed, Fognini was probably hoping for an easy outing against the Dutchman (ranked 38th), but started to show some frustration when things weren't exactly going his way, including an impressive racket flip.

Fognini is no stranger to on-court meltdowns with the 28-year-old owning a solid anger-filled highlight reel over the years.
