Medvedev collapsed in the first round of the US Open and smashed his racket again.

(NLDO) - The US Open had a dramatic start when the iconic Djokovic fought off injury to continue, Medvedev declined and left the tournament in tears, with an unsightly image.

At the age of 38, Djokovic still showed his mettle to overcome the young Vietnamese-American talent Learner Tien 6-1, 7-6, 6-2. However, a serious blister on his toe made the audience worry about the Serbian tennis player's journey to conquer the final Grand Slam of the year.

Former 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev once again disappointed the audience when he was eliminated in the first round. This happened at two other Grand Slam tournaments, Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

In the opening match today, the Russian player lost dramatically 2-3 (3-6, 5-7, 7-6, 6-0, 4-6) to Benjamin Bonzi. The match became chaotic when a photographer strayed onto the court, the referee let Bonzi serve the first ball instead of the second ball, causing Medvedev to get angry, argue fiercely and lose his temper.

The Russian player had won two sets and almost made a comeback, but Medvedev made 64 unforced errors, ending the match by smashing his racket, throwing his racket bag into the stands, and bursting into tears.

This was his second consecutive defeat to Bonzi in the first round of a Grand Slam (having lost 1-3 at Wimbledon), and also confirmed a disastrous season when Medvedev only won one match at the Grand Slam tournaments this year.
