During the first match of the Ilie Nastase group, in Turin, the fourth player in the world, opposed to Taylor Fritz, lost his nerve because of a point, a bit lucky, scored by the American. He started throwing his racket into the barriers before knocking out a microphone after recovering it. Medvedev then chained several racket throws in the air, pretending that the equipment was slipping from his fingers.
Before finishing in style: on the last point of the game, while he was losing 6-4, 4-2, on the American's serve, he held his racket upside down before a return. In short, a festival, which obviously precipitated him towards defeat in two sets (6-4, 6-3). Medvedev had already given a glimpse of his discomfort in the first set, with three consecutive double faults on his serve, the last of which was quite crude.
