Chaos at US Open during Medvedev’s match

On Sunday, the US Open witnessed a chaos when a photographer entered court as Daniil Medvedev faced match point, bringing the first-round match to a standstill. This led to a spectacular meltdown from the Russian player. Former champion Medvedev was eventually knocked out 6-3 7-5 6-7(5) 0-6 6-4 by Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi.

Bonzi threatened to walk off the court at one point and called for the Russian to be disqualified, reported AP. When the photographer arrive suddenly, it led chair umpire Greg Allensworth to put Bonzi back onto his first serve, sparking an outburst from Medvedev.

“Are you a man? Are you a man? Why are you shaking?” the Russian shouted as he walked towards the chair. “He wants to go home, guys, he doesn’t like it here. He gets paid by the match, not by the hour.”

Not just he, even Medvedev shouted, “What did Reilly Opelka say?”

After six minutes of ruckus, which even saw jeers, whistles and boos rang out around Louis Armstrong Stadium, the match began.
