British star Dan Evans smashes racket in Indian Wells tantrum while Emma Raducanu wins and hits back at critics
Dan Evans furiously smashed his racket during his Indian Wells exit on Thursday while fellow British star Emma Raducanu beat Rebeka Masarova.
British No.3 Evans loses his temper while playing against Roman Safiullin in the first round of the prestigious event in California.
The incident occurred in the third set on Court 3 after world No. 42 Safiullin hit a winner to break his opponent and take a 6-1 5-7 5-2 lead.
World No.45 Evans looked dejected after losing the point and then walked over to his chair before smashing his racket to the ground in anger.
