Medvedev Expecting Big Fine After Match Point Meltdown

Daniil Medvedev is expecting a big fine after a meltdown at match point incited the US Open crowd and delayed the former champion's five-set defeat by Benjamin Bonzi.

The Russian was incensed when, with Bonzi serving at 5-4 and advantage in the third set, a cameraman walked onto the court between the Frenchman's first and second serve, causing a brief delay that the umpire, Greg Allensworth, deemed merited a retake of Bonzi's first serve.

Medvedev went immediately to Allensworth to protest against the decision and whipped up the booing crowd, shouting: "Are you a man? Why are you shaking? He wants to go home guys, he doesn't like to be here. He gets paid by the match, not by the hour."

Although Medvedev then returned to the baseline, he continued to encourage the reaction of the crowd and it was more than six minutes before Bonzi finally hit his serve.
