WATCH: Kyrgios' racquet takes a beating in Paris

The Australian lost in the second round on Thursday to Kevin Ande

Published Jun 01, 2017

On Thursday, Nick Kyrgios put on a show again in Paris—this time more on the negative side—during his 5-7, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 loss to Kevin Anderson.

Anderson was on fire after dropping the first set, becoming virtually untouchable for the remaining three, while Kyrgios has been struggling with a hip injury, and struggled to keep his racquet intact.

The Australian would earn a point penalty for racquet abuse.

While the Perrier logo got the majority of the beating, the court itself endured some pain.

Mary Carillo may have said it best (though she wasn't even commentating on this particular match).

Anderson moves into the third round of Paris for the fourth time in his career.
