Second Serve

Elite players keep cool under pressure.

Terence Atmane broke the ice with one swift kick today.

A frustrated Atmane kicked the cooler prompting immediate cold karma.

The fallen cooler spit up an ice storm onto the court causing a delay during Atmane's match against Aussie Alex Bolt at the Wuxi Challenger on hard court.




The spillage prompted a delay as a clean-up crew came out to remove the mess.

Meanwhile, the third-seeded Atmane, like a man knocking over soda bottles at the supermarket, moved to the other side of the court as if distancing himself from the ice.

Atmane was hit with an unsportsmanlike behavior warning and Bolt went on to win the match 6-3, 6-4 and reach the final.
