Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Bublik were in the middle of an important point in the third set. A strong lead and a third consecutive game was in the Russian’s sight. However, the umpire decided to throw away his point and present an obvious comeback in that game. Medvedev was smashing the ball at Bublik from the net, and allegedly shouted “sorry” in the middle of the point.

As a case of hindrance and obstruction in the middle of a point, the point was given to Bublik. The Kazakh national had no clue as to what happened, and Medvedev found the decision to be stupid.

Medvedev overcomes scare from Bublik

As much as Daniil Medvedev’s on court drama and comments make a buzz, his game speaks for himself. A nervy start to his second-round match saw him trailing Bublik; however, he showed his true worth and justified his number one seeding at the tournament.

After going down 6-4 in the first set, Medvedev showed his class in the second and third set to register a comfortable win. He thanked the rain delay as it helped him change his game.

Medvedev will be hoping to reach the finals and win the tournament for the first time in his career. This win will potentially determine his chances at the US Open later this month.
