Elite players stay calm under pressure.

Terence Atmane I quickly kicked the ice today.

The frustrated Atmane kicked the cooler, prompting an immediate cold karma.

Fallen cooler spits in court, causing delays in matches against Australia Alex Bolt Wuxi Challenger in Hard Court.

Wuxi CH SF: First, do a great job against Alex Bolt in this pass (game 4, first set) 👏

Second, Terence Atmane ??? 💀Brothers are frustrated, I see, but there is no delay now – he kicks the ice box, falls, delays the game 🙃

Spills drive delays when cleaning staff comes out to remove the chaos.

Meanwhile, the third seed Atmane moves to the other side of the court like a man knocking a soda bottle in a supermarket, as if he is away from ice.

Atmane was hit by a non-area behavior warning, and Bolt continued to win the game 6-3, 6-4 and reached the final.
