A video of the incident, taken from the podium, was published by the PropSwap Twitter channel. In the comments under the video, fans criticized the behavior of the Australian:

What a pathetic loser! He needs to seek help from psychologists,” wrote one of the fans.

“No respect for your own sport. I don’t understand why he hasn’t been disqualified yet, ”said another tennis fan.

“Keep supporting this clown. I hope he retires before he messes with tennis values ​​with the permission of the referees. Against Daniil (Medvedev) he threw two rackets and received no warnings, today he did the same once. I hope he gets a big fine,” concluded the third.

Khachanov, 26, reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career. His next opponent at the US Open will be the Norwegian Kasper Ruud.
