KEY POINTS:
An attack with a racquet on himself left Russia's Mikhail Youzhny bloodied but made him a YouTube star, AP reported today.
After hitting a backhand into the net against Spain's Nicolas Almagro in the third round of the Sony Ericsson Open on Tuesday, Youzhny whacked himself in the head three times with his racquet strings.
The blows sent a stream of blood running down his face and play was stopped while Youzhny was patched up.
