The 15-year-old women's singles champion at Wimbledon learned a lesson during Monday's match.
Anger will not be tolerated.
Ida Wobker, of Germany, was kicked out of the Wimbledon juniors' tournament after she threw her racket down and onto the courts. This decision was confirmed by the All England Club on Sunday.

The incident happened during the second set of the first round match between Wobker and his opponent on Saturday.

Maria Valentina Pop, from Romania, had won the first set, 6-0, and with things tied in the second set at 5-5, Wobker hit a backhand goal out of bounds.
Showing obvious frustration at the mistake, Wobker threw his racket, and although he may not have intended to do so, it flew into the stands. It's not clear if it hit the spectators, but there was a lot on the ground floor where the racket landed.
Wobker quickly went over and apologized for his big mistake, but the officials stopped the game and deliberated on the punishment.

In the end, Wobker was given a code violation for her behavior on the grass, and Pop was awarded an automatic bid to the next round of the women's singles tournament. She would later lose to Daniella Britton in that second round match.
Wobker addressed the incident on his Instagram Stories page Saturday night, writing, “S— it happens, you learn from it!,” according to The Sun.
The rules of the International Tennis Federation have clear guidance on what to do when the racket is thrown in Wobker's style, stating that the player “must not violently or angrily hit, kick or throw the racquet” during a match.
Officials stepped in, and as Wobker said, he'll learn from the situation.

It wasn't his best effort on the court before the moment of frustration, making 11 double faults during serves and 44 unforced errors.
But, at just 15 years old, Wobker is ranked 24th in the International Tennis Federation's junior world rankings, meaning he has a lot of work to do to channel his frustrations on court.
