World No.5 Daniil Medvedev copped a violation after a moment of frustration led to him smashing his racquet into the net four times on Tuesday, in a match he went on to win.
Up against world No.418 Kasidit Samrej, Medvedev won the first set 6-2 before losing the next two 4-6, 3-6.
As Samrej closed in on winning the third set, the 23-year-old from Thailand beat Medvedev at the net and won the point.

"Anyone that's played the game at any level understands the frustration that this man is feeling right now," Mark Petchey added.
Medvedev managed to move past his tantrum to save two set points but Samrej eventually sealed it.
After the end of the third set, the net camera was replaced.
The blow up seemed to inspire Medvedev in the fourth set though, dominating Samrej to win 6-1 before winning the fifth 6-2.
