Barbados tennis player Darian King has been defaulted from a Challenger tennis tournament in Virginia for hitting a lineswoman with his racquet after throwing it at a wall.

The world no.301 heaved his racquet at a tarp surrounding the court after losing a tiebreak point to opponent Edmund Corrie, with the rebound striking the official in the back.

King originally showed concern for the Charlottesville Challenger lineswoman before pleading his innocence when it became clear he would be defaulted.

The video is worth a watch just for the priceless reaction from the commentators.
