Tennis Star Medvedev Tumbles in US Open Amid Upset Loss

Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev created a chaotic situation in a U.S. Open match against France’s Benjamin Bonzi on Sunday night in New York. Tennis fans received dramatics usually reserved for Broadway rather than Flushing Meadows as Benjamin Bonzi upset Daniil Medvedev in the U.S. Open. Bonzi won the match 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4 over Medvedev. But the match was delayed for more than six minutes as Medvedev argued with the chair umpire.

Medvedev was enraged by chair umpire Greg Allensworth’s decision to award his opponent a first serve after a photographer entered the court on match point. Allensworth told the photographer to get off the court and that Bonzi would get another first serve because of the delay. Medvedev was up in arms over the decision.
