Overview

• Daniil Medvedev fell to Benjamin Bonzi in a five‑set first round (6-3, 7-5, 6-7, 0-6, 6-4) after chair umpire Greg Allensworth ordered a serve replay when a photographer moved during match point.
• Play was halted for several minutes as a jeering crowd drowned out Bonzi’s attempts to serve; the Frenchman later called the scene surreal and said he could not serve because of the noise.
• After the defeat Medvedev smashed a racket and said he had considered ending his career that night, adding he expected a fine as his poor run continued.
• Italian reports say the tournament revoked the photographer’s accreditation following the incident, though officials have not issued a formal confirmation.
• Carlos Alcaraz beat Reilly Opelka 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 and said his shaved head resulted from a clipping error by his brother, while Jannik Sinner routed Vit Kopriva 6-1, 6-1, 6-2, managed a minor hand blister as coach Simone Vagnozzi canceled extra practice, and both now face Mattia Bellucci and Alexei Popyrin respectively in a No. 1 race that remains in play.
