Andy Murray smashed his racket twice on the court just moments after crashing out of the Paris Masters following his defeat to Alex de Minaur on Monday. The British tennis star struggled to contain his frustration after a narrow defeat at the hands of the Australian and took his rage out on his equipment, earning the former world No 1 boos from the crowd in France.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old was in action against 13th seed De Minaur, who has become something of a nemesis for the Brit as he has failed to win any of their previous five meetings.<\/p>\n

And despite a nailbiting encounter in the first round in Paris, it was Murray who ended up on the losing side again after a thrilling 6-7 (5), 6-4, 5-7 result.<\/p>\n

With the court at his mercy on De Minaur’s match point, Murray watched his forehand effort clip the net and cruelly land on his side of the court – handing a well-earned victory to his 24-year-old opponent.<\/p>\n
