Daniil Medvedev’s US Open campaign ended in chaos as he lost a dramatic five-set first-round match to France’s Benjamin Bonzi. Serving for the match at 6-3 7-5 5-4, Bonzi was disrupted when a photographer stepped onto the court. Chair umpire Greg Allensworth controversially reset the point, sparking a furious outburst from Medvedev, who accused the umpire of weakness and mocked him in front of a hostile crowd. The match was halted for six minutes amid boos and whistles as security escorted the photographer out and revoked his credentials.
The disruption briefly revived Medvedev, who saved match point, stole the third set in a tiebreak, and swept the fourth 6-0 as Bonzi struggled with a knee issue. However, the Frenchman regained composure in the decider, trading breaks before clinching victory 6-3 7-5 6-7(5) 0-6 6-4 with a stunning backhand. Medvedev smashed his racket in frustration while Bonzi celebrated, acknowledging both cheers and boos from the crowd.
With the defeat, 2021 champion Medvedev became the first former winner to exit this year’s tournament, capping a miserable season at the majors.
