WATCH: Andrey Rublev smashes his racket during 3rd round Roland Garros game against Matteo Arnaldi

The 3rd round of the Roland Garros has started and we have already some intense games and shocking results this season. This has been a great Clay season finale already where all the best players have been giving some great performances which have kept the fans elated in seeing their stars on the court.

One of the most shocking matches in round three that we witnessed was between Andrey Rublev and Matteo Arnaldi, where the Italian went on to beat the World number 6 in three straight sets and caused one of the major upsets in the tournament. This was an off day for the Russian who started to find some form this season after winning the ATP title in Madrid. It is safe to say that it was not a great day for Rublev.

Rublev gets violent

It was an underwhelming performance from Rublev in one of the greatest Grand Slam tournaments in the world. So it is no surprise that Rublev was frustrated during the whole match and it was evident.  Nothing was going Rublev's way and he was displaying it by smashing his racket all around the court and screaming in agony throughout the game. There were also instances of him arguing with the umpires. It is safe to say that this was not a great way for a professional athlete to display himself in a grand sporting event.

This was another example of Rublev playing recklessly and it once again went against him completely. We all know Rublev is one of the best players in his country, but if he ever wants to win the major trophies, he has to learn how to keep his composure when things are not going his way. It was really sad to see a player who is also one of the top-seeded players react in a really unprofessional way.
