There was a wild scene at the French Open on Tuesday when world no. 7 Andrey Rublev lost his temper during a changeover, striking a ball against a courtside chair in disgust. The ball ricocheted off the chair and hit a Roland Garros groundsman.

Rublev received a warning for his actions- and the outburst ultimately didn't cost him en route to the first-round win, which he secured in four sets over Kwon-Soon woo. However, the Russian player's actions were a terrible look for the sport- and for him individually. He apologized, saying he “lost his mind” in the process, per the New York Post.

“I lost my mind for a moment, and of course I regret what I did. It’s unacceptable to hit the way the ball I hit it,” said Rublev.

“Better if I just hit the racket on the seat, because the ball can affect someone. This is unprofessional from my side, and hopefully I will never do it again.”

Rublev said that he “regrets what he did”, saying that his actions were “unacceptable.” The world no. 7 understands that his French Open outburst could have injured someone seriously.

While his “Hopefully I never do it again” isn't exactly the most encouraging statement (wouldn't he have control over that??), at least he plans to be far less destructive if he ever loses his cool like that again.
