When did Marat start smashing rackets?

DId he do it throughout his whole career even when he won the US open. WAs it something he was known for in the juniors? It would be interesting at what stage in his career he started this.

Probably not long after he started playing tennis....

I get the feeling that him throwing the racket is not genuine anymore. He just does it for show. He needs to talk to uncle toni. 8)

When he first picked up a racquet he knew it was his destiny to smash racquets.

There's a pic of him holding a racket age 2. Start practicing early, I say.
