Medvedev 'Needs Help' After US Open Meltdown: Becker

Daniil Medvedev lost in five sets after a six-minute delay caused by a photographer's court intrusion, leading to a controversial umpire decision and Medvedev's public criticism.

  • On Sunday, August 24, at the 2025 US Open held in New York, Benjamin Bonzi defeated Daniil Medvedev in a thrilling five-set match.
  • The match’s delay of over six minutes was caused by a photographer mistakenly walking onto the court at match point, prompting a controversial umpire decision.
  • Medvedev expressed strong frustration with chair umpire Greg Allensworth’s ruling to grant Bonzi another first serve after the interruption and argued loudly during the stoppage.
  • In a post-match press conference, Medvedev clarified that his frustration was directed at the ruling rather than the photographer, and he tossed six racquets into the crowd as a gesture to the fans.
  • The loss brought Medvedev's 2025 Grand Slam campaign to a close amid expert and former player suggestions that he should pause competing for the remainder of the year due to his ongoing difficulties.
