tennis star Andrei Rublev During Tuesday’s Wimbledon match, he broke down… hitting himself repeatedly with his racket – and the frenzied outburst was all caught on video.
Rublev’s temper occurred during his confrontations with others. Francisco Comesana …after he failed to return a shot from his opponent.
I think Rublev needs to see a sports psychologist. This happens far too often and it goes too far. pic.twitter.com/oneqavULmK

As the ball sailed toward the crowd, Rublev saw red…and slammed the racquet into his knee over and over again.
The 26-year-old hit himself seven times in total…but somehow, he was able to stay in the game. However, he never regained his composure and became lost.
After the game, Rublev explained his actions… saying: “I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed to let off steam.” He added that luckily he didn’t suffer any long-term injuries during the game.

This isn’t the first time the tennis player has lost control at a major tournament… earlier this year at the French Open, he also threw his racket into his lap multiple times.
He admits he needs to be better prepared going forward after Tuesday’s incident – and we’re sure his knee will be taken care of in the future.
