Forehand to forehead makes Youzhny a hit

 
A tennis tantrum by Russian Mikhail Youzhny left him bloodied but made him a YouTube celebrity. When Youzhny hit a backhand into the net during his third-round match Monday at the Sony Ericsson Open, he angrily whacked himself in the head three times with his racket strings. The forehand to the forehead sent a thick stream of blood running from above his hairline down his nose nearly to his mouth. "I saw that," said James Blake, who lost in the quarterfinals Wednesday.
