John Isner smashes racquet in anger after key fifth-set foot fault

Irate over the timing of the call, Isner whacked a ball into the upper deck, drawing a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct. He spent much of the ensuing changeover arguing with chair umpire Carlos Bernardes over the line judge?s call, telling him incredulously, ?I haven?t foot-faulted this whole year, and this guy calls one on me.?

Isner was still seething at the ensuing changeover two games later. He again had words with Bernardes before smashing his racquet on the ground and flinging it away from him, a show of force that would have left even guitar-smashing ?80s rock stars in awe.
