Things can get frustrating at times during a thrilling contest. But, what a young tennis player did after being edged out in a nail-biter, is extremely hard to the eyes.

Spain’s Mario Vilella Martinez (WR: 262) was up against Tomislav Brkic (WR: 305) of Bosnia and Herzegovinia at the ATP Challenger in Shymkent, Uzbekistan.

After splitting the first two sets, the duo went neck-to-neck in the third. Serving at 5-6, however, Marti failed to force a tie-breaker as Brkic went on to prevail 1-6 6-2 7-5 after battling out in the middle for two hours and four minutes.

What the Spaniard did next quickly went viral on the internet. The 23-year-old banged his racket multiple times with all his might before turning backwards to ruthlessly dump it away.

No wonder, his opponent wore a perplexed look while coming on to the net for the customary handshake.

As for Brkic, he is scheduled to lock horns with 11^th seed Federico Coria of Argentina in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.
