Nicolas Almagro Frees a Tennis Ball from Indentured Servitude



Tennis is a stressful sport and sometimes the only way to cope with that stress is by trying to smash a ball over the Throgs Neck Bridge. Any New Yorker knows that the bridge is a longshot from the grounds of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, but Nicolas Almagro, who hails from Murcia Spain, evidently does not.

Check out Almagro’s fiery, comical reaction to a double-fault on Day 5.

The stress relief didn’t help the Spaniard. He ended up falling in straight sets to Gael Monfils, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. Ah, but as consolation we are giving Almagro the award for the funniest outburst of Week One of the U.S. Open. We don’t even need to watch Day 6 and 7—it’s all Almagro’s, hands down.
