What is it with these Russians? Since when did they become so ahem temperamental? Or are they just plain old crazy?

Number 25 on ATP list Dmitry Tursunov compared smashing a racket to having rough sex.

Tursunov stated “Smashing a tennis racket is like having rough sex. When the racket breaks, it feels almost orgasmic… You know, some rackets just like it rough… Afterwards, you feel a bit sorry that you’ve done it, and you’re like, ‘Yeah, I’ll make it up to you darling, my little racket’. But the racket is broken and you know that it’s never going to be the same.”

Hm ok if you say so.

But this is the man that storms off the court when he is losing a match. I have not watched tennis in quite a while, didn’t there use to be a fine for that type of thing?
