Daniil Medvedev’s match was delayed more than six minutes between points Sunday night, after a photographer entered the court on match point and the 2021 US Open champion became enraged by the chair umpire’s decision to award his opponent a first serve.

The chair umpire granted Daniil Medvedev's opponent Benjamin Bonzi an extra first serve following an on-court delay caused by a photographer at the US Open.

At Wimbledon in 2017, Medvedev was fined after emptying his wallet and throwing coins at umpire Mariana Alves following a five-set loss to Belgium's Ruben Bemelmans. He disputed a series of controversial calls and said after the match "it was very hot out there" and couldn't remember if he'd asked for Alves' removal.

Controversy arose early in the US Open, as Daniil Medvedev's first-round loss against Benjamin Bonzi featured a moment that raised eyebrows at Louis Armstrong Stadium.

Acar highlighted his long career, saying he has covered major global events such as US Presidential visits, NATO summits, and the FIFA World Cup. He stressed that he is an experienced professional who would never make such a mistake.

Daniil Medvedev's explosive outburst at the US Open chair umpire followed after a photographer entered the court during his match against Benjamin Bonzi.

Photographer caught in Daniil Medvedev’s upset loss to Benjamin Bonzi at US Open broke silence, said he was “lynched” and had “suffered greatly.”
