His apparent mistake was used by Medvedev to spur an uprising against the umpire.
The match between Daniil Medvedev and Benjamin Bonzi last Sunday at US Open will surely be remembered as one of the most chaotic and embarrasing moments ever at the New York tournament. Medvedev encouraged the unhinged crowds to boo protesting a decision from the umpire, only to lose an hour later.
