He therefore returns to the idea of sanctioning a player because he has broken his racket, and the least we can say is that he does not like it.

That there is a society with rules that prohibit hitting people, that’s normal, but who would live in a society where it looks like “you have no right to get upset and throw a pen on the ground ”? Would that shock you or not? Of course it would shock you! From a moral point of view, I find it unacceptable to sanction a player who blows up a racket. Everyone is responsible for their image, their behaviour… If a player thinks he doesn’t mind breaking a racquet, who does? »
=> The 40A magazine is available in all kiosks and press houses for 6.5 euros, an investment that quickly pays for itself when you really love tennis.
