Daniil Medvedev has been fined more than \u00a330,000 after his spectacular meltdown during his first-round US Open loss to Benjamin Bonzi.<\/p>\n

Medvedev lost 6-3 7-5 6-7 (5-7) 0-6 6-4 but it was his behaviour in the third set that dominated the headlines<\/strong><\/a>, when the 2021 champion launched a tirade against the umpire and whipped up jeering fans who stopped his opponent from serving.<\/p>\n

The 13th seed was facing match point and a straight-sets loss when a photographer entered the Louis Armstrong Stadium court just as Frenchman Bonzi misfired his first serve.<\/p>\n

The official then allowed Bonzi another first serve because of the unauthorised incursion, sparking wild scenes with Medvedev furious that his opponent was allowed to retake his first serve.<\/p>\n

Medvedev protested the decision to umpire Greg Allensworth and whipped up the crowd, shouting: “Are you a man? Why are you shaking? He wants to go home guys, he doesn’t like to be here. He gets paid by the match, not by the hour.”<\/p>\n

The fiery Russian continued to incite the crowd, with the match delayed for more than six minutes before Bonzi was finally able to serve.<\/p>\n

Medvedev saved the match point and won the third and fourth sets, but went on to lose the contest in the fifth, repeatedly smashing his racket on the court.<\/p>\n
