Overview

  • Tournament referee Jake Garner levied $30,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct and $12,500 for racket destruction.
  • Officials revoked the credential of the photographer who entered the court during the late-stage point.
  • The flashpoint came when chair umpire Greg Allensworth ordered a first-serve replay for Benjamin Bonzi due to the interference.
  • Play stopped for more than six minutes as Medvedev berated the umpire over the microphone and later smashed his racquet after the match.
  • Bonzi prevailed 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4, handing the 2021 champion a third straight first-round Grand Slam exit after also defeating him at Wimbledon last month.
