Overview

  • Tournament referee Jake Garner issued $30,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct and $12,500 for destroying a racket.
  • Chair umpire Greg Allensworth ordered a replayed first serve after a photographer stepped onto the Louis Armstrong court, drawing boos and causing a stoppage of more than six minutes.
  • Organizers revoked the photographer’s credential following the interference.
  • Benjamin Bonzi beat the 2021 champion in five sets, 6-3, 7-5, 6-7(5), 0-6, 6-4, after which Medvedev smashed his racket against his courtside chair.
