Enraged Medvedev upset in chaotic US Open match

France’s Benjamin Bonzi upset No. 13 Daniil Medvedev of Russia, 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5-7), 0-6, 6-4, in the final match of the US Open’s opening day on Sunday, Aug. 24.

Bonzi produced a fast start by taking the first two sets against the former World No. 1 tennis player.

Medvedev would claim the next two sets in the match, but only after a long delay took place during the third set.

Bonzi was up 5-4 in the third set and was hitting his first serve before he missed it. A photographer left his position and walked onto the court before Bonzi made his second attempt at a serve.

Greg Allensworth, the chair umpire, asked the photographer to leave the court and announced that the Frenchman would receive another first serve due to the delay.

The delay was six minutes long after Medvedev exchanged words with the umpire, and the crowd began to boo the call. Medvedev would gesture at the crowd to encourage more booing.

Bonzi went on to take the fifth set and win the match, adding to Medvedev’s frustration. After the match, Medvedev was seen smashing his racket.

The United States Tennis Association confirmed with multiple reporters that the photographer involved was escorted from the court by security and had his credential revoked for the remainder of the event.
