NEW KIND OF SMASH TAKING OVER TENNIS

I WENT to a fight and an ice hockey game broke out – the old joke lampooned Canada’s national sport as the most violent. But could genteel tennis have that mantle thrust on it? I mentioned before a Florida crowd’s death threats to Caroline Wozniacki’s family. Now former world No1 Karolina Pliskova, pictured, has used her racket to smash a hole in the umpire’s chair after a call she didn’t like in Rome. At this rate, Wimbledon players will have boxingstyle cutmen by their Robinsons Barley Water.
