Overview

• Benjamin Bonzi defeated Daniil Medvedev in five sets 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4 in about 3 hours 45 minutes on Louis Armstrong Stadium.
• At Bonzi’s match point, a credentialed photographer entered the court after a missed first serve, and chair umpire Greg Allensworth ordered a first-serve replay under external-interference rules.
• The interruption stretched roughly six minutes as Medvedev confronted the umpire, urged the crowd to boo, and shouted lines including “Are you a man?” and references to Reilly Opelka’s past criticism of Allensworth.
• Bonzi lost the immediate match point and later the set amid heavy booing but recovered to win the decider, calling it the best victory of his career and describing the atmosphere as difficult to play in.
• A USTA spokesperson said security escorted the photographer out and revoked his credential, while Medvedev smashed a racket after the loss and said he expects a substantial fine.
