Southern Greek Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis went berserk and smashed four rackets one after another during Australian Open nervous breakdown.

Sydney / NationalTurk – Hot-head Marcos Baghdatis entertained fans at the Australian Open 2012 when he smashed four rackets in row during a spectacular court-side antics, rage display and tantrum.

The Cypriot lost his cool after dropping serve early in the third set against Stanislas Wawrinka, having already lost the first two sets. Wawrinka, the No21 seed played with the nerves of the former star player so bad, the furious outburst on the Margaret Court Arena by the former finalist of the first Grand Slam of the year has already become a YouTube sensation like he never managed with his career, well maybe except her sexy teen girlfriend.
