Kevin Garnett < Mikhail Youzhny
Apparently tennis player Mikhail Youzhny's little outburst where he bludgeoned himself with his tennis racket wasn't the first of it's kind on the sports landscape recently. Is it possible that Youzhny was just imitating the great leader of the Celtics, Kevin Garnett, only with, you know, a much more dangerous piece of sports equipment? I hope this becomes a trend in sports and extends to the
Tennis Can Be a Frustrating Sport
My favorite thing about this video is not the fact that Mikhail Youzhny bludgeons his face with a tennis racket (though that is enjoyable). What I really enjoy is when the announcer likens Youzhny's behavior to that of Vincent Van Gogh and then -- emboldened by what he feels is a brilliant analogy -- goes on to point out that Youzhny, like Van Gogh, has short hair as well. One man (a ...
Mikhail Youzhny is Bloody Tennis Tantrum

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 ...
Tennis Is Intense
I really don't have words to describe this. I'll just let you watch. Wait for it.....Waaaaaaaait for it (fun starts at 1:30 in)..... Umm yeah. That's Mikhail Youzhny seeming not so happy with himself. A bit crazy, but the motivation tactic seemed to work because he came back and won the match.

Mikhail Youzhny Bashes Himself With His Racket, Opens a Gash on His Forehead
This is Russian tennis player Mikhail Youzhny, who got just a wee bit upset during his loss to Serbian Janko Tipsarevic at the Masters Series tournament at Key Biscayne: Youzhny whacked himself in the forehead with his racket, but I'm guessing he meant to do it with the strings. Instead he hit himself with the frame of the racket. After getting medical attention, he did continue with the ...
Mikhail Youzhny beats himself up with tennis racket: Tennis Racket-1 ** Youzhny-0
I had never heard of Mikhail Youzhny prior to today, now Youzhny will forever be infamous in my mind for being one of the biggest idiots tennis has ever seen. Now we’ve all seen John McEnroe go ballistic time and time again if he lost points. We’ve seen all of the various technicals and emotional moments from Rasheed Wallace but I think this one takes the cake. Mikhail Youzhny ...
It’s Angry…It’s Bloody…It’s…..Tennis????
I’ve mentioned my distaste for men’s tennis on several occasions, but moments like this make the sport look a little less sissy. 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 Beats Himself with a Racket, Then Beats Opponent
I believe this is what the tennis statisticians would label a 'forced error.' After a long point, Russian tennis pro/masochist Mikhail Youzhny was not pleased with his backhand into the net ... so he bludgeoned himself with his own racket . Ouch, dude. I'm not sure if he was just disappointed in losing the Brooklyn Decker sweepstakes or this is his sick way of motivating ...
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
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...
