Alex De Minaur took a break from competing for the Next Gen ATP Final title in Milan to take on a serve challenge. Hitting a can may seem easy enough for a pro, but for the 19-year-old it was almost a complete failure.

Taking 25 serves, De Minaur nearly gave up before finally nailing a can. His fellow Next Gen competitor, Stefanos Tsitsipas, only needed two serves.

De Minaur wasn't amused.

Despite not doing so well in the serve challenge, De Minaur came through in the actual matches, winning all of his round robin contests and then reaching the final, where he faced Tsitsipas.

The Greek 20-year-old had struggles of his own, with finding ways to get his frustration out.

Like De Minaur, Tsitsipas didn't lose a match in round-robin action, but that doesn't mean the week wasn't challenging.

Tsitsipas would be crowned the Next Gen ATP Finals champion with a 2-4, 4-1, 4-3 (3), 4-3 (3) win over De Minaur on Saturday.
