Daniil Medvedev’s trip to Monte Carlo ended on Thursday, and he did so with controversy. The Russian fell in the round of 16 against compatriot Karen Khachanov 6-3, 7-5 in a match that lasted nearly two hours.
If the other day, against Gael Monfils, he had a fight with Mohamed Lahyani because of the hawk’s eye, this time Carlos Bernardes was the victim.
The historic chair umpire, who will retire at the end of this season, incurred the wrath of the former world number 1, who was deeply upset by a line judge’s decision.
“Who will take action? Yesterday the ball was bad. It was sung well. This time is also bad. Who is responsible? It is not my responsibility to referee matches. This man with glasses. He doesn’t need glasses because he can’t see anything. It’s a 15-30 with 5-5. Why? It’s the second day in a row. Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Make a way. “It was out,” he told the tournament supervisor after protesting to Bernardes.
The Russian is penalized with a penalty point where it will be the last game of a match marked by mistakes and ends their adventure in Monegasque lands.
In other matches of the morning session, Alex de Minaur made it to the quarterfinals after convincing his compatriot Alexei Popyrin 6-3, 6-4. and Grigor Dimitrov completed his rain-delayed match yesterday against Miomir Kecmanovic, whom he defeated 6-4, 6-3.
