Tennis star Alexander Bublik absolutely lost his mind during a match this week — destroying THREE of his rackets in a wild outburst that was all captured on video.
The epic temper tantrum went down in the third set of Bublik’s Open Sud de France match in Montpellier against Grégoire Barrère … when he blew a gasket over the way he was playing.
The 25-year-old — a heavy favorite in the match — slammed his racket to the court’s surface over and over and over again after a losing a point … leaving it in pieces.
Clearly unfulfilled by that, Bublik went to his bench and destroyed another one. Seconds later, he grabbed one more and, you guessed it, beat the hell out of that one too.
The crowd jeered loudly as Bublik went off — and even one of the match’s announcers was over it by the third racket smash, saying, “Well, this is getting out of hand now.”
Bublik, the No. 50-ranked player in the world, eventually stopped the tirade — and went on to lose the match, 6-4, 6-7 (12), 7-6 (3).
No word yet if Bublik faces any punishment for the fit of rage — but one thing is clear … he better pack a few more rackets for his next tourney appearance.
