Tears as player runs out of rackets

Ukrainian Katarina Zavatska had a nightmare day in Paris as she ran out of rackets midway through the third set of her match against No.5 seed Kiki Bertens.

Bertens won the match 6-2 6-0, but Zavatska had to borrow a racket to finish the match after strings on hers all broke.

Zavatska couldn’t contain her emotions nearer the end, bursting into tears as Bertens raced away to win the set 6-0 and the match.
