Medvedev approached the official to complain, and that&#8217;s when the situation got out of control.\n\nThe crowd began to boo and chant: &#8220;Second serve!&#8221;. In total, the game was interrupted for more than six minutes while Medvedev incited the fans and insulted Allensworth.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>&#8220;He wants to go home, guys. He doesn&#8217;t like being here. He gets paid per match, not per hour,&#8221; Medvedev shouted into the microphones behind the umpire&#8217;s chair.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nWhen order was restored, Medvedev ended up winning that set, and also the fourth. Bonzi eventually won 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4.\n\nThis was Medvedev&#8217;s third consecutive loss in the first round of a Grand Slam and the second consecutive loss to Bonzi, after losing to him at Wimbledon.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniil Medvedev Sanctioned at the US Open for Unsportsmanlike Conduct Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev was fined a total of $42,500 by the US Open on Wednesday, following an incident in his first-round match.
