Andrey Rublev left with bloodied knee after smashing racquet on himself seven times after Wimbledon exit

Hindustan Times  

A month after his meltdown at the French Open, Russian tennis star Andrey Rublev sparked concerns about his mental health when he unleashed a furious tirade against himself during the round one match at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships on Tuesday. The sixth seed later lost 6-4 5-7 6-2 7-6 to world No.122 Francisco Comesana of Argentina, playing his first match at a Grand Slam. In May, during his third-round loss at the Roland Garros, Rublev, who had a similar episode, admitted "I don't remember behaving worse at a Slam ever" after he kicked and screamed his way out of the match with a straight-set loss. On the other hand, the Argentinian, who fired 21 aces in the match, powered through the rain-interrupted third set and later outdid Rublev in the tight fourth set with guile and accuracy before drawing an unforced error from the Russian to finish the match in style.
