Cincinnati, Aug 22: Daniil Medvedev was left fuming in the second set of his 2-6 6-3 6-3 loss to compatriot Andrey Rublev at the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati, USA.
While chasing down a baseline shot from Rublev, Medvedev crashed into an on court TV camera. He kicked the camera in frustration, then complained he “nearly broke his hand”.
The World No.2 took a medical timeout to check the condition of his hand, but returned to play. Momentum shifted after the incident and Rublev went on to claim his first win over Medvedev.
Germany’s Alexander Zverev produced a superb comeback against Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(4) win and set up a title clash with the world No. 7 Rublev. (AP)
