BRUTAL Medvedev loss | 00:31<\/p>\n The former world No.1, who has endured a shocking year at major level by his usually high standards, sparked a furore after a bizarre incident in which a photographer walked onto the court between serves when Bonzi held match point in the third set.<\/p>\n After a delay of six minutes, in which Medvedev berated umpire Greg Allensworth for his decision to award Bonzi a first serve while whipping the crowd into a frenzy, proceeded a comeback from the Russian that ultimately fell short deep in the fifth set. <\/p>\n As Bonzi celebrated his success, the Russian sat in dejection on his chair before proceeding to obliterate his racquet with a stunning tantrum that had greats including Boris Becker suggesting Medvedev required professional help.<\/p>\n He was issued with a A$46,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct and a further A$19,000 for the damage he inflicted on his racquets.<\/p>\n Russia’s Daniil Medvedev looks on holding his broken racket after losing his men’s singles first round tennis match against France\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Benjamin Bonzi on day one of the US Open tennis tournament at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City, on August 24, 2025.

But he was able to win fans back on the way to defeating Novak Djokovic in the 2021 final.<\/p>\n Earlier this year at Melbourne Park, the three-time Australian Open finalist was issued with an even bigger fine of $76,000 for unsportsmanlike behaviour, which included a $10,000 penalty for breaking a net camera in the first round.<\/p>\n The rest related to his appalling behaviour in the second round loss to Learner Tien.<\/p>\n Medvedev\u2019s friend and compatriot Andrey Rublev, whose own antics on the court have earned scrutiny, is a godfather to one of the struggling star\u2019s children and said he would be willing to assist his mate if required.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know \u2014 if he wants to change and needs help he has me, a lot of other friends and family that will help him. But it\u2019s his life and his decision what he needs to do. Only he knows what is happening,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI haven\u2019t spoke to him yet. I think he needs to take some time because it was a tough loss for him, but I will text him. The year he\u2019s had in the slams (winning only one match) has not been easy for him.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniil Medvedev has been slugged a whopping A$65,000 for his notorious New York meltdown on the opening night…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":100936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[2620,2095,64,63,70421,1804,5873,73435,3567,73444,73441,11301,2057,73438,73446,41706,62364,73440,1025,2041,2067,73437,3592,50938,60448,73439,73442,73436,2016,73445,85,7663,747,37659,73443,2614],"class_list":["post-100935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-agence-france-presse","tag-america","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-benjamin-bonzi","tag-billie-jean-king","tag-boris-becker","tag-career-fines","tag-courtney-walsh","tag-crowd-troubletennis","tag-damien-dumusois","tag-eastern-europe","tag-europe","tag-five-set-thriller","tag-greg-allensworth","tag-match-point","tag-national-tennis-center","tag-needs-help","tag-new-york","tag-north-america","tag-northern-america","tag-notorious-temper-tantrum","tag-novak-djokovic","tag-opening-night","tag-opening-round-loss","tag-professional-help","tag-round-loss","tag-round-tennis","tag-russia","tag-russian-sat","tag-sports","tag-talking-points","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-tournament","tag-three-time-australian","tag-united-states-of-america"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755550689_238_poster-fallback.png\"\/)
