The tremendous blow to a rival that has led to the disqualification of a tennis player

It is not common to witness situations like the one that occurred at the Challenger tournament held in Barletta (Italy). Bulgarian tennis player Alexander Donski was disqualified after hitting a ball at his opponent, Italian Simone Agostini, out of frustration for losing an important point. The chair umpire and event supervisor deemed the action deserving of disqualification.

Alexander Donski was defaulted earlier after smashing the ball in frustration following a missed break point, accidentally hitting his opponent Simone Agostini in the head.

Physio came on court, supervisor and umpire decided to disqualify him.
