Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev clashed with the referee during the Australian Open semi-final match against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas. This is reported by the correspondent of “Lenta.ru”.
The incident occurred in the second set with the score 4:5 in favor of Tsitsipas. Medvedev was outraged that the Greek’s father was telling him from the stands. “His dad can talk at every prank? Are you dumb? Can his father talk all the time? Will you answer my question? Look at me! I’m telling you!” – the athlete turned to the judge.
At the time of this writing, the score in the match was 7:6, 4:6, 3:2 in sets in favor of Medvedev. The winner of the match in the final of the tournament will meet with Spaniard Rafael Nadal. The match is set for January 30th.
Medvedev is the winner of the 2021 US Open. Tsitsipas did not win a Grand Slam tournament, but was in the Roland Garros 2021 final. Then he lost to Serb Novak Djokovic.
