Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, competing under a “neutral” status, has advanced to the round of 16 at the Masters in Shanghai after defeating Italian Matteo Arnaldi with a score of 2-1.
However, Medvedev made headlines not just for his performance but for his controversial behavior on the court.
Details: At the start of the second set, the “neutral” player received a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct after he wiped the ball on the back of his shorts before handing it to his opponent.
Following this incident, he engaged in an emotional exchange with the umpire, covering his mouth with his hand, which led to a second warning for unsportsmanlike behavior and a penalty of one point.
Reminder: Despite the controversy, Medvedev ultimately won the match against Arnaldi with a score of 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
