Overview

• Medvedev and Cervara posted Instagram messages on Sunday confirming they have ended their collaboration days after the first-round defeat to Benjamin Bonzi.
• During that U.S. Open match, a photographer entered the court at match point, chair umpire Greg Allensworth ordered a replayed first serve, and Medvedev’s protests triggered a roughly six-minute delay.
• Tournament officials fined Medvedev $42,500 for unsportsmanlike conduct and racket abuse stemming from the incident.
• The split follows a steep downturn in 2025 majors, with Medvedev losing in three first rounds and one second round as his ranking slid to No. 13.
• Reporting also points to broader staff changes, with performance coach Eric Hernandez said to have left, and Medvedev is expected to seek new coaching support heading into the next phase of the season.
