Tennis World USA on MSNJack Draper explains racquet smash: 'It’s hard to always act perfectly'World no. 5 Jack Draper let his emotions spill out in a rare on-court outburst during his Rome Masters clash against Vit Kopriva.

Despite building a set and a break advantage, Draper smashed his racquet after wasting four break chances in the fifth game of the second set.
Draper was involved in a similar controversy at the Cincinnati Masters last August when he won match point against Felix Auger Aliassime after appearing to scoop the ball up after a double bounce. The British No.1 admitted he had been hurt by all the subsequent criticism and called for VAR to be available for big calls.
