At Indian Wells Masters 2021, Canadian tennis professional Vasek Pospisil met Jeffrey John (J.J.) Wolf in the opening round. Although it seemed to be a comfortable win for him on paper, it did not go as expected on the court. Consequently, as Pospisil dropped the second set and a break down in the third, he let out his frustration on his tennis racquet.

From the start of the match, both Pospisil and Wolf fought rigorously for every point. Unsurprisingly, the Canadian got the first break and took the opening set 6-4. However, as the second set began, his level dropped, and Wolf took advantage of the situation.

Naturally, all the missed timings and unforced errors started building up inside Pospisil. Once the frustration got too much for the 31-year-old, he let it all out on his tennis racquet. See how it went down.
