Watch Alexander Zverev completely lose his cool, after losing a point to Dominic Thiem at the Rotterdam Open

Alexander Zverev cut an angry figure as he smashed his racquet after losing a point to Dominic Thiem at the Rotterdam Open.

The incident came in the third game of the third set, with Zverev unhappy he had failed to return the ball having raced across court.

Zverev's angry reaction saw the ball boy scamper for cover and it did the player himself few favours, as he went on to lose 3-6 6-3 6-4.

Press play on the video above to see Zverev - whose older brother Mischa knocked Andy Murray out of this year's Australian Open - lose his cool in dramatic style.
