\n Daniil Medvedev has been fined $42,500 for unsportsmanlike misconduct and racket abuse following his outburst at the US Open on Sunday<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n Medvedev\u2019s fine is almost 40% of the $110,000 in prize money he earned for appearing in the first round of the grand slam at Flushing Meadows.\n <\/p>\n

\n The 29-year-old was fined $30,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct and $12,500 for racket abuse.\n <\/p>\n

\n During the Russian\u2019s first round defeat to Benjamin Bonzi in New York, the Frenchman was serving for the match and, as he prepared to play his second serve, a photographer stepped onto the court surface.\n <\/p>\n

\n The disruption led chair umpire Greg Allensworth to put Bonzi back onto his first serve, sparking an astonishing outburst from Medvedev.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAre you a man? Are you a man? Why are you shaking?\u201d the 2021 US Open winner shouted as he stormed towards the chair.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe wants to go home, guys, he doesn\u2019t like it here. He gets paid by the match, not by the hour.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Medvedev also repeatedly shouted, \u201cWhat did Reilly Opelka say?\u201d at the official in reference to the US player\u2019s call for Allensworth to be suspended after receiving a code violation at the Dallas Open for confronting a spectator.\n <\/p>\n

\"Medvedev<\/p>\n

\n The match<\/a> was halted for about six minutes as jeers, whistles and boos rang out around Louis Armstrong Stadium, with fans refusing to stay quiet so Bonzi could serve.\n <\/p>\n

\n The United States Tennis Association said the photographer was escorted from the court by US Open security and that his credentials had been revoked.\n <\/p>\n

\n Bonzi threatened to walk off the court<\/a> at one point and called for the Russian to be disqualified. Although Medvedev was able to rally after the incident, Bonzi would go onto win in five sets.\n <\/p>\n

\n At the end of the match, Medvedev repeatedly hit his racket against his bench.\n <\/p>\n

\n After Medvedev\u2019s outburst, his longtime friend Andrey Rublev offered to support him if he wants to address his emotions.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIf he wants to change and needs help, he has me, a lot of other friends and family that will help him,\u201d Rublev told reporters after his first round victory at the US Open. \u201cBut it\u2019s his life and his decision what he needs to do.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The Russian added: \u201cOnly he knows what is happening.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think he needs to take some time because it was a tough loss, but I will text him. The year he\u2019s had in the grand slams hasn\u2019t been easy.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n US star Frances Tiafoe said that Medvedev\u2019s frustrations likely stem from his early exits at grand slams \u2013 in the four majors this year, Medvedev exited in the first round in three except the Australian Open where he reached the second round.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe holds himself to a super high standard,\u201d the American said. \u201cHe\u2019s been struggling and he\u2019s struggling to face the music, right? He\u2019s struggling to face losing early and to guys he feels he should be beating.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAnother side comes out. I hope to see him play to the level that he\u2019s capable of playing. It\u2019s been a super tough stretch.\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Tweet Email Link Daniil Medvedev has been fined $42,500 for unsportsmanlike misconduct and racket abuse following his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103181,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":{"0":"post-103180","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
