A South Korean tennis player had an epic meltdown Monday after suffering an embarrassing second-round loss at the 2023 Asian Games in China, according to the Longview News-Journal.
Soonwoo Kwon, ranked No. 112 by the ATP, lost to Thailand’s Samrej Kasidit, who is ranked No. 636, at Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre in Hangzhou, China.
After Kwon lost the match, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, he took his frustration out on his racket, slamming it to the ground eight times while walking over to his bench.

South Korean tennis sensation Kwon Soon-woo made history by "winning" 11 slams after crashing out in the second round of Asian Games men's singles event. 9 of the 11 slams were "won" when Kwon slammed his racket 9 times against the ground, while the remaining 2 slams were against the chair. Novak Djokovic, the record slam holders with 24, expressed his utmost admiration for Kwon. Djokovic was quoted to have said: "What I achieved in my whole career, Kwon achieved almost half of it after a single match.".

Smashing equipment at the court. 3. Showing respect to your opponent is strictly prohibited. 4. If you are dissatisfied with the referee's decision, stay at the match court and protest as long as you want. 5. If your anger persists, you can also destroy locker room equipment.
