Well, you're not wrong NF, Felix has the Rafa approach while Shapo has more of a Djoker approach (including the racket smashes). I think in the heat of the moment, Shapo was lashing out and likely said some things that initially don't look great, but it's immediately following a tough loss where he had a great chance to advance. His motor runs hot and if he can learn to keep his cool in critical moments, it will serve him well down the road.
