Nicolas Mahut’s Frustration Erupts in AO Arena Doubles Defeat Against Australians

In rage, he threw his racket at his bag. Then after greeting the Australians, he violently kicked this poor bag, which suffered a final racket throw. Nicolas Mahut quickly left the court at the AO Arena in Manchester after a doubles defeat with Édouard Roger-Vasselin synonymous with a lost match against the Australians. The 41-year-old Angevin had repeated it in recent days, he was keen to take his revenge against Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell, who had dominated him and Arthur Rinderknech in a decisive doubles in Hamburg (Germany), in 2022. “I didn’t succeed,” he said, with a blank look, at a press conference. On Wednesday, Mahut even watched last year’s double to prepare for Thursday’s confrontation. Without success. The chest bump was Australian and not French.
