Overview

• Benjamin Bonzi beat Daniil Medvedev in five sets, 6-3, 7-5, 6-7(5), 0-6, 6-4, to reach the US Open second round.
• During Bonzi’s match point, a photographer moved on court, and under the rules the chair ordered the point replayed with a first serve.
• Medvedev protested at the microphone, accusing the umpire of being paid by the match and wanting to go home.
• Play was halted for several minutes as the crowd booed and cheered, with reports differing on the stoppage length at about seven or roughly ten minutes.
• After the delay Medvedev forced a fifth set before Bonzi closed it out, and Medvedev smashed his racket as another setback in a difficult 2025 that already included a recent loss to Bonzi in London.
