Tennis is way more violent than I realized Links1

Thanks to Orson Swindlespencerhall over at TSN, I now come to realize that when you play tennis and make a bad shot, the thing to get you back on track is to repeatedly bash yourself in the face with your own tennis racket as Mikhail Youzhny demonstrates below. I think that maybe the open wound on his head might have distracted his opponent a little as Youzhny went on to win seven straight [link]

In case you haven’t seen the vid of Mikhail Youzhny bashing himself in the head with a tennis racket at the Sony Ericsson Open and then splitting his dome open when he catches the frame on it, well, you should probably take a few minutes off of work and watch this. Actually it’s about a minute and a half, following the end of the point in play when it starts. He really ...
Mikhail Youzhny Literally a Rock Head

Much like Gus Frerotte who lost a head-butting battle to an endzone wall, I don’t get what the fascination is with people banging things against their heads. Like in football, players bash helmets all the time just to get pumped up. That’s gotta hurt, right? It put Frerotte out of commission. Sure, we’ve seen that before. But have you ever seen a tennis player go heads-up ...
It’s Angry…It’s Bloody…It’s…..Tennis????

Mikhail Youzhny lost a point after a long volley and became so angry he struck himself in the head with his own racket three times. A stream of blood rushed down his forehead and the match had to be temporarily stopped while trainers patched up the ...
Mikhail Youzhny got a little angry

You may not know tennis player Mikhail Youzhny, but you will know him now. He’s the dude that after losing a long volley, decided to smash his racket against his head a couple times. Then he started bleeding. Holy hell, that was awesome. {HT: The Sporting Blog .}
TENNIS JUST GOT MASOCHISTIC, BLOODY

Posted 4/1/2008 on With Leather

Here's Mikhail Youzhny at the Miami Masters tournament facing off against Spaniard Nicolas Almagro.  After ending a long point with an unforced error into the net, Youzhny reacts like any real competitor would: by beating himself in the head with his racket until he opens up a bloody gash [ Heh... "bloody gash" - Ed. ].  The tactic worked well for Youzhny, as he ...
