GIFs: Benoit Paire Has Meltdown, Wins Set Anyway

Serving for the set at 5-4 in the first set against Martin Klizan in Miami, and frustrated at missing three serves in a row (yes — this happened after missing a first serve), Benoit Paire broke a racquet at 0-30 and received a code violation for racquet abuse.

Seconds later, Paire hit an extremely perplexing forehand error, broke another racquet, and received a point penalty to hand the game to Martin Klizan.

And then Paire won the set, naturally.
