Put your back into it Stan...

If you're playing sport at any level sometimes your emotions can take over. We've all played 5-a-side with "that guy" but it can also happen to people at the highest level. World number three Stan Wawrinka had a bit of a tantrum during his Queen's semi final with Grigor Dimitrov over the weekend. The Swiss number one, who was beaten in the match, wasn't having things his own way and a touch of petulance appeared. Stan decided that it was the racket's fault (like blaming your controller playing FIFA) so he decided to break it into the ground and boy did he fail miserably. Tennis professionals are big strong boys and you'd think Stan would destroy the puny racket easily but things got a little awkward... Nice to see him crack a smile though...
