Threat for Medvedev, facing a spectator in the middle of the game: “Are you stupid?”

It’s impossible to get bored when Daniil Medvedev plays. The Russian is not noticed on a court, either because of a great game, because of his constant public controversies, or because of both, as happened the previous morning at the US Open.

The world number 3 was about to serve at the start of the third game of the fourth set of his second round match against Australian Christopher O’Connell, when he was disturbed by a fan who had not yet sat down.

“What’s the problem? are you stupid” Medvedev released to the follower, that He was carrying a beer glass that was bigger than his head. and did not hold back when it came to answering.

Neither short nor lazy, he gave the Russian a teasing kisswho faced the rest of the public while mocking him for his attitude.

This incident did not anger the Russian (He’s used to it and doesn’t move anymore), who gave up just one more game in the game to seal his third-round defeat just after one in the morning in New York.

A good victory (6-2, 6-2, 6-7(6) and 6-2), but scaredas they seemed to be in complete control of the match in the third set with 4-2 in their favor and after easily winning the first two sets.

But then O’Connell responded admirablywhich forced the ‘tie break’ and hooked the fans for a potentially epic part of the night.

Finally, Medvedev recovered in the fourth set and closed his pass for the third round where he will face Argentine Sebastián Báez (32).

“I hope you don’t have to wake up early tomorrow“A calmer Medvedev joked after the game, thanking the crowd that stayed until the end at the Louis Armstrong Stadium.
