David Goffin, who replaced Andy Murray in the men’s singles, had a match to forget when he was knocked out by Tomas Machac.
The Belgian raced into a commanding two-set lead but threw away the next three as part of a dramatic collapse.
The response on social media was unflinching, with @Matt31804524 posting: “This set has ended the career of David Goffin. Oh my God, the worst choke I have EVER SEEN.”
@ImJarrd added: “David Goffin is about to cap off the most insane choke job you will ever see in professional sports.”
@Nicholas9455 said: ” I don’t know how long it takes David Goffin to recover from this. This will ruin him mentally.”
