The prestigious US Open tennis tournament has kicked off, and already one of the opening matches has been rocked by an incredible scandal.

Details: During the clash between Medvedev and Bonzi, a photographer suddenly ran onto the court, triggering a storm of emotions from Daniil. Chair umpire Greg Allensworth ruled that Bonzi would be allowed to replay his serve, prompting Medvedev to urge the New York crowd to boo the decision. As a result, play was halted for 6 minutes and 24 seconds.

Earlier, we reported that Bonzi was leading 2-0, then dropped two sets to his opponent, but in the fifth set managed to snatch victory—6:4. Medvedev couldn't hold back his emotions after the unexpected loss. He grabbed his racket and smashed it to pieces.

Reminder: Tennis legend Novak Djokovic is in New York, where the season's final Grand Slam, the US Open, is about to begin. Before the tournament, the Serbian star attended a New York Yankees baseball game in MLB.
