With his first-round match against Damir Dzumhur tied 2-2 in the first set on triple break point, Youzhny hit a backhand shot into the net and punished himself with a thorough thrashing.

This isn’t the first time Youzhny has reacted violently to a poor performance. He smashed his racket against his forehead and drew blood at the Sony Ericsson Open in 2008.
There was also the fourth round of the French Open in 2013 when he didn’t hit himself, but did annihilate his racket on a bench.
Youzhny got down 6-2, 6-1 in the first two sets versus Dzumhur and then retired. It is difficult to play tennis with a migraine.
