Daniil Medvedev made headlines all over the world during the first week of the 2025 US Open. In the first match itself, he struggled to perform and eventually lost, but not before causing a lot of drama.
Medvedev was on the brink of elimination in straight sets as his opponent, Benjamin Bonzi , was serving for the match when a photographer walked onto the court to change his position. Bonzi was given another first-serve opportunity, much to Medvedev’s annoyance. What followed next completely turned the tables in favor of the Russian.
He argued with the chair umpire and asked the crowd to boo him (which they did for nearly six minutes). This interruption broke Bonzi’s momentum, and he lost the third as well as the next set 6-0, but he eventually won after clinching the fifth one.
