Daniil Medvedev muss wegen unsportlichen Verhaltens tief in die Tasche greifen.

Overview

  • The penalty totals $42,500, with $30,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct and $12,500 for destroying his racquet.
  • A photographer ran onto the court during Benjamin Bonzi’s match point, had accreditation revoked, and the chair ordered a first-serve replay.
  • Medvedev berated chair umpire Greg Allensworth and incited the crowd, saying the official was paid per game rather than per hour, leading to a brief stoppage.
  • Bonzi defeated Medvedev in five sets after the interruption shifted momentum back and forth.
  • Afterward Medvedev said he did nothing wrong and argued he was angry at the decision, with the episode adding to prior major fines at Wimbledon 2017, the US Open 2019 and the Australian Open 2025.
