The images are going around the world. Carlos Alcaraz smashed his racket out of frustration over the poor match he was playing against Gael Monfils in ATP Cincinnati 2024. The player himself explains what happened to lead him to that point: "I have felt many times on other occasions that I wanted to break the racket, but it never happened because I was able to control myself in those situations. Most of the time I was able to improve in matches, today I couldn't control myself, I felt I wasn't playing any tennis. It has been very frustrating for me, there were moments when I wanted to leave the court, I didn't want to be on the court. It has been difficult moments for me. Many players cannot control themselves at certain times throughout their careers, and it was that kind of moment."
