Overview

• Benjamin Bonzi defeated Daniil Medvedev in the first round 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4 in 3 hours 45 minutes.
• A photographer stepped onto the court on Bonzi’s match point after a missed first serve, and chair umpire Greg Allensworth ordered a first-serve replay under external-interference rules.
• The delay stretched to about six minutes as Medvedev confronted the umpire and urged the crowd to boo, before play resumed and the match went to a fifth set.
• A USTA spokesperson said security escorted the photographer out and the US Open credential was revoked immediately.
• Medvedev smashed his racket after the loss and said he expects a heavy fine, as figures including Boris Becker and Brad Gilbert criticized his conduct and Taylor Fritz backed the ruling.
