Overview

  • Benjamin Bonzi defeated No. 13 seed Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4 in 3 hours 45 minutes to advance to Round 2.
  • During Bonzi’s match point in the third set, a photographer left his post and walked along the court, prompting chair umpire Greg Allensworth to grant a first-serve replay under interference rules.
  • Medvedev confronted the umpire and encouraged prolonged boos from the crowd, delaying play for about six minutes before he pushed the match to a fifth set.
  • A USTA spokesperson said the photographer was escorted from Louis Armstrong Stadium and had tournament credentials revoked.
  • After the defeat Medvedev smashed his racket and said he expects to be fined, drawing comparisons to his previous US Open disciplinary episode in 2019.
