Swiss tennis player Roger Federer is seen calm and composed on the tennis court and we rarely get to see his anger. This nature of him has helped him in earning lots of titles and accolades in his career. In Madrid Open 2019, Federer was playing against Gael Monfils on Court Manolo Santana on Thursday. Federer needed three sets to beat his opponent but in the early third set, he lost. To express the disappointment at falling 2-0 down, he took out a tennis ball out of his pocket and bashed it out of the stadium. But in the end, he came out the winner and this is his 1200th career win.
For smashing the ball, Roger also received a code violation warning from the umpire. Roger also posted a picture of him banging the ball. He wrote, “Bang? see you later ?”
He then posted yet another tweet saying, “Great game today vs @Gael_Monfils, Thank you fans for the special atmosphere here in Madrid ?”
A Twitter user then replied saying, “Seriously, after he smacked a ball into the crowd and got a violation? “Okay cool. The double standards amongst tennis fans…”
The tweet of that user is unavailable now but see what Roger’s replied.
While talking about his win, Federer said, “I think Gael did a nice job of not being frustrated after losing the first set and he learned from yesterday when he also lost the first set 6-1.”
