Winning and losing in sports is a very common thing, and most players can face it calmly, but there are still people who are difficult to let go of their losses. According to the Daily Mail news on July 31, local time, in the bronze medal battle for the men's singles of tennis at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Novak Djokovic, who is now the world number one, lost his cool after losing the third set...
As you can see from the video GIF, Djokovic, who has no hope of winning the bronze medal, smashed the tennis racket in his hand hard against the net, as if to vent all his anger. And his move was so sudden and surprising that the caddies standing on the sidelines were startled and ran to the side to avoid it.
Djokovic threw one racket into the empty stands, and the other slammed the net in anger, and from the screen, the racket was damaged and could no longer be used. Although for this player who has won too many Grand Slams, a broken tennis racket is not a big thing, especially for some ordinary tennis fans, that racket is definitely precious.
In stark contrast to Djokovic's out-of-control anger is his opponent on the field, Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta, a man who can't compete with Him in terms of fame, but he is the one who can laugh to the end, and the victory seems to make him far happier than winning an Olympic bronze medal.
For Djokovic, it was the first fiasco of his career, and he had previously announced his withdrawal from the mixed doubles bronze medal race for physical reasons, meaning he would return to Serbia without a hitch at the Tokyo Olympics. But even so, his approach is too excited, and his mentality is really terrible.
Compared with Djokovic, The British star Andy Murray is more able to accept his defeat, and teammate Joe Salisbury was eliminated from the men's doubles semifinals by the less famous Croatian combination than himself, but left with regrets and did not get angry.
