Daniil Medvedev He returned this week to the courts, after his frustrated passage through the Australian Open -he lost in the second round with the young American Learner Tien -and in his debut in the debut in the ATP 500 De Rotterdam He had a reproachable attitude again. On the initial set of his duel against Stan Wawrinkathe Russian exploded against the Umpire, the Egyptian Adel Nourthat charged him a violation of time to take time to get.
It was in the 11th Game of a very fought partial first, in which the Russian held his serve and was 6-5 above. And at the break, from the bank, he began to claim the judge the penalty that had imposed him.
“Why do you charge me a time violation? Do you have any problem? ball girl He didn’t give me the balls. Don’t you see? I opened my eyes! No, you don’t have eyes. You are so bad. I remember what happened with Karen khachanov. Do you remember? “He told the shouts, remembering the episode that Nour had starred with his compatriot in the ATP of Antwerp of 2020, in which he was wrong several times when he sings the balls.
While the minutes passed, Medvedev’s anger was increasing. “You don’t have eyes, no? Why do you charge me a rape of time? You are absolute garbage in all games,” he continued.
Before a judge’s response -which was not heard in the transmission, covered by the music that sounded at the stadium -, the number seven in the world continued: “It was calm but you are looking for problems, man. You have some problems, some deep problems.
And while heading to the bottom of the court to play the following game, he closed: “I opened your eyes, I opened your brain, think a little. I know you’re just sitting there, but think a little more. Come on, give me energy.”
Medvedev ended up losing that set in the tie break, but left the frustration behind and managed to turn the game against Wawrinka, guest of the organization, which took out 6-7 (8-10), 6-4 y 6-1. His great comeback in a duel that was a great show, especially in that initial partial, was the same a bit opaque for that moment of fury. One more in your circuit career ATP.
It is that Medvedev usually star in such episodes. In his debut in the first Grand Slam of the season, for example, the Thai Kasidit samrej418 ° of the ranking, forced him to play five sets to advance. And after giving the third and being 1-2, it was so distrustful with its performance, that it completely destroyed the racket and damaged the transmission chamber located hooked in the center of the network. In the center of the court.
Last year he also had some fury starts. One of the most remembered was in Masters 1000 of Montecarlo During the second round clash he lost with Khachanov.
The problem began when Khachanov broke the serve in the final stretch of the second set, to be 6-3 and 6-5 above, with the chance to take out for the game. Medvedev, obfuscated, threw the racket as if it were a frisbee Against the back of the court and headed towards his chair, without realizing that his hand was bleeding.
Upon arrival, he noticed that doctors approached him and began to claim the screams to Carlos Bernardesthe umpire of the party. “Did I ask the physio!? I asked for the physio!?” And then engaged in a heated discussion with Cedric Mourierthe ATP supervisor, who approached just when the doctors left the court.
“Cedric, go to look at the brand. The brand is outside. They no longer know how glasses, because you see nothing. ! Eyes.
