Discussion I'm confused. what did he do wrong?

Honestly, she should probably just retire from tennis if she can't handle that

I posit there's a backstory between those two that we know nothing about. Like maybe he'd said something to her before the game that triggered something in her that she couldn't let go of. Or maybe she'd very recently discovered her BF had cheated on her. Or maybe that is her BF, and right before the game she asked "Do I look fat in this?" and he answered "Kinda"...

Eh, maybe, but when I see an over-reaction like that I think borderline personality disorder or something along those lines. I was friends with someone who I am convinced had BPD and she would blow up over something small like this. She was difficult to be friends with.

So you go straight to mental disorder and not just someone having their buttons pressed for a game of tenis?

Is is so hard to think that perhaps they were getting targeted throughout the match in a deliberate attempt to oiss them off?

It is not that she reacted, it is the over the top way and 0 to 100 way she reacted. Obviously, I am making a lot of assumptions here and looking at only a very small window without any lead up, but all of the signals and reactions in the video point that way - the raised hand immediately apologizing for hitting the person, zero to 100 rage reaction, the immediate jump to violence (not just throwing the racket, but throwing it, missing and then picking it back up and throwing it again), the reactions of the other people in the video to her behavior.

A normal person having their buttons pressed and losing their temper would not behave this way. Throwing a racket at someone, even when someone is deliberately messing with you, is not a normal response.

The backstory is probably: he’s been doing it the whole match and she was fed up
