Furious woman launches tennis racket at opponent in fit of rage

An amateur tennis player has gone viral after a shocking, expletive-filled outburst during a game of mixed doubles.

In the clip, which was originally posted to Reddit, the woman returns a shot at the net, before her opponent hits a forehand down the line.

And after her teammate returned with a backhand of his own, their opponent went to the net and volleyed a shot into her body - causing an X-rated meltdown.

Despite the man immediately putting his hand up to apologize, the woman angrily called him a 'piece of s**t' and asked 'what the f**k' was wrong with him before throwing her racket at him over the net.

'F**k you,  F**k you, 'F**k you,' she raged.

The woman then stormed off the court and said she was done playing.

The video has been viewed nearly 11million times on Instagram, with many users taking issue with her reaction.

'Extremely standard shot to hit in that scenario,' one commented on Instagram.

'That wasn't anything,' another said. 'He could have hit it a lot harder. She completely overreacted. And she didn't hold back throwing the racket at him.'

'Throwing a tantrum because she has -0 skill and even less situational awareness,' a third added.

The incident appeared to take place on a Seattle University Redhawks tennis court.
