Mad(vedev) scenes

Novak Djokovic overcame leg troubles improved to 19-0 in the first round of the US Open

- 

NEW YORK: Daniil Medvedev's match was delayed more than six minutes between points, after a photographer entered the court on match point and the 2021 U.S. Open champion became enraged by the chair umpire's decision to award his opponent a first serve.

The latest Medvedev meltdown on Louis Armstrong Stadium Sunday night led to a wild change in the match. The No. 13 seed was a point away from being eliminated, then won the next two sets to force a deciding fifth before Benjamin Bonzi eliminated him from a second straight Major with a 6-3 7-5 6-7(5) 0-6 6-4 victory that ended early Monday.

"I tried to stay calm in the match but it was not easy," Bonzi said.
