It is normal for tennis rackets to be very durable, used by a player over several weeks. They will rarely break, unless the player wants it in a fit of rage. That was not the case for Alexander Shevchenko's Babolat, which took a very different route and left us with the image of the day at the ATP Delray Beach 2025. After a first serve by the Kazakh, the racket slipped from his hands and, upon impact with the cement, it broke... in a very particular way: as if it were a Lego, it was dismantled into two equal parts, with the handle completely detached from the neck. A curious image that rarely occurs in the professional circuit.
