Australian tennis player Akira Santillan did not take defeat well in Wimbledon qualifying, venting his anger by smashing ALL of his rackets after the match.

Santillan lost his Wimbledon second-round qualifying match to Belgium's Ruben Bemelmans in three sets, failing to make it to the Grand Slam main draw.

Right after the match, the emotional 22-year-old Aussie showed his disappointment by mercilessly destroying each of his rackets in a meltdown at the back of the field.

He left with a trail of destruction in his wake,” one Twitter user wrote, describing the scene.

The world number 215 was following in the footsteps of hot-tempered countryman Nick Kyrgios, who is famous for his eccentric on-court meltdowns.

Santillan, who has never advanced to a Grand Slam main draw, has only managed to win $2,600 in prize money this season.
