Referee Greg Allensworth brought Bonzi to the first service after a photographer entered the court, causing a six -minute delay and a furious Medvedev response.
“Are you a man? Medvedev asked Allensworth several times. “Why are you trembling?” He wants to go home, guys. He doesn’t like that here. He is paid by the match, not on time. ”

The US Tennis Association said security had escorted the photographer before his references were dismissed.
“I was not angry with the photographer,” said world number 13. “I was angry with the decision.
“Whenever there is a sound of the stands between the services, there is never a second service. But the referee gave him a first service. This is what made me angry.”

Daniil Medvedev against Benjamin Bonzi
The controversy had a galvanizing effect on Medvedev, which then broke out, won a break in equality and won the competition with five sets in a 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4 defeat.
The 29-year-old is known for his volcanic temperament occasionally and has defined his relationship with the open American crowd as Amour-Haine through various lightning points.
Daniil Medvedev looks completely distraught after his defeat against Bonzi at the US Open.
He breaks his racket and sits just on the ground.
Brutal loss to swallow.

In the first, against Feliciano Lopez in 2019, Medvedev took a towel of a ball, threw a racket on the referee after receiving a violation of the code and was hooked after seeing a finger in the arena.
“I want you all to know when you sleep tonight, I won because of you,” he then falsified his interview on the field.
“The more you do this, the more I will win for you guys.”
US Open 2025: Bonzi vs Giron
The world number 51 Bonzi will play American Marcos Giron, who is classified four below him, in the second round.
The 29 -year -old has never exceeded the third round of a major, but has now won his two meetings of the ATP tour with Medvedev, bringing him out in the first round of the 2017 France.
Medvedev was one year old to forget, suffering from outings in the first round in the three Grand Chelem tournaments since his release from the Australian Open in the second round.
