Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev faced a dramatic exit in the first round of Wimbledon, succumbing to grand slam debutant Francisco Comesaña. During the match, Rublev, known for his temper, smashed his racket against his knee seven times after a wayward shot, sparking concern among viewers.
Rublev's meltdown occurred in the fourth game of the third set after Fransisco broke him for a second time, leading to a furious reaction from the sixth seed. This incident follows a similar outburst at the French Open, where Rublev clashed with an umpire and apologized for his behavior.
The match was tightly contested, with both players winning a set each before Fransisco took control. The Argentinian broke Rublev early in the first set and held on to win it, frustrating the Russian. Rublev fought back to take the second set, but Comesaña dominated the rain-interrupted third set and edged out Rublev in the fourth, ultimately winning 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 7-6.
Despite his lack of experience, Comesaña played with poise and control, hitting 21 aces and drawing unforced errors from Rublev. This victory marks a significant achievement for the 23-year-old Argentinian in his grand slam debut.
