Andy Murray was visibly angry as he lost in the second round of the Qatar Open against Jakub Mensik on Wednesday.
The Brit repeatedly smashed his racket on the ground moments before his 18-year-old opponent saw out the biggest win in his career so far.
Murray got his week off to a perfect start on Tuesday, beating Frenchman Alexandre Muller to collect his first win since last October.
The 36-year-old had exited in the first round of the last four tournaments he had entered before this week.

Murray overcame an issue with his knee on Tuesday with a straight-sets win to set up a clash against teenager Mensik.
But he was unable to back up his victory and was edged out in an extremely close encounter which went to a tie-break in all three sets.
With Mensik on match point at 6-4 up in the deciding tie-break, Murray vented his frustration by smashing his racket on the ground several times.
It didn’t do anything to help his cause as Mensik saw out victory to progress to the quarter-final stage.
Czech youngster Mensik admitted he was left ‘speechless’ with his victory and admitted he knew most of the crowd wanted Murray to win.
He said: “I’m speechless right now. I know a lot of fans wanted Andy to win today.
“Andy is an unbelievable player. When I was young I watched him on TV winning Wimbledon.
“It’s unbelievable at his age he’s able to compete with the best players in the world so congratulations to him and all the best for the next tournament.”
