Overview
- Daniil Medvedev and longtime coach Gilles Cervara have split, with Cervara announcing the end of their eight-season collaboration on Instagram.
- A chaotic first-round match at the US Open against Benjamin Bonzi featured a photographer stepping onto court at match point and a replayed point ordered by chair umpire Greg Allensworth.
- Medvedev inflamed the scene by urging crowd boos during a roughly six-minute delay before ultimately losing to Bonzi 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4.
- Tournament officials fined Medvedev $42,500 for unsportsmanlike conduct and racket abuse following the loss.
- On the Nothing Major podcast, John McEnroe said he “loved every minute” of the chaos but labeled Medvedev “tapped out” and urged him to get his act together, citing a broader dip in form across this season’s majors.
