Tennis fans were dramatically reserved for broadways, which was disturbed by Benjamin Bonzi instead of flushing the Meadows on Sunday night at the US Open.
Bonzi won the match 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4 at Medvedev. But the match was delayed for more than six minutes as Medvedev argued with the chair umpire.

Medvedev was angry with the decision of Chair Umpire Greg Alensworth to give his opponent for the first time, when a photographer entered the court at the match point. Elementsworth asked the photographer to get off the court and Bonzi will get another first service due to the delay. Medvedev was in weapons on the decision.
“He wants to go home, friends. He does not like to live here. He is paid by the match, not,” he was heard telling the umpire of the chair on the microphone.
Medvedev said that he was upset with the decision and did not think that obstruction from the photographer was enough to warrant to resume this point. A spokesman for the US Tennis Association said that the photographer was rescued from the court by the US Open Security and his credibility was canceled.

“I was not upset with the photographer. I was upset with this decision,” said Medvedev. “The delay from the photographer was probably four seconds and one and a half. I am not sure it is enough for (first) service.”
Medvedev also referred to the criticism of Reeli Opelka’s past in his tampering. He kissed fans and encouraged Buz loudly.
Bonji suggested that Medvedev’s behavior crossed the line.
“I mean, the rule is the rule. The man went to court between two services,” Bonji said. “I mean, it’s not my call to say service first. And I think, yes, Daniel started it, and they put oil on the fire.”
