– Daniil Medvedev was eliminated from the US Open after a disruption caused by a photographer walking onto the court during his match against Benjamin Bonzi. – The incident occurred at a critical moment, leading to a delay and a controversial decision by the umpire, which allowed Bonzi to replay his first serve. – Despite the chaos and a significant delay, Bonzi eventually won the match in a dramatic five-set victory.
“I just expressed my emotions, my unhappiness with the decision, and then the crowd did what they did without me asking them too much,” said Medvedev, who has won just one Grand Slam match this year.
“It was fun to witness.”
The photographer, who appeared to be trying to find a position in the long-lens pit at the side of the court, was later escorted out of Louis Armstrong Stadium by security.
“His credential has been revoked for the 2025 US Open,” United States Tennis Association organisers told BBC Sport.
