Look at the faces of kids as angry Daniil Medvedev pounds his tennis racket into mush as he loses the US open........

Medvedey is acting like Trump--not a good example for kids to see.

Daniil Medvedev after a loss at the US Open.

Another grown man throwing a tantrum like he's a 3yo toddler. Ffs, mate. Do the world a favour—get off the court and stay off.

3. It was a bizarre decision from the umpire that helped his opponent at a crucial moment

I don't blame him for being pissed off.

Medvedev was facing match point. His opponent served a fault. Then, before the second serve, a photographer walked onto a part of the court, to try and get a better angle. They had to stop to remove the photographer. And then, and I haven't seen any justification for this yet (and the umpire couldn't give one at the time), the umpire said "first serve". So the opponent could give a better, riskier serve, knowing he still had a second serve available.

As it happens, Medvedev did win that point. But the umpire seems to have been an asshole, and that can't put you in a good frame of mind for the rest of the match.

4. Maybe he wants to be the new John McEnroe? nt

5. Should've fined the photographer

6. Or something, at least.

That was inexcusable.

Not sure if that is a ban from future US Opens too.
