Things seem to be going from worse to worst for Daniil Medvedev at the moment. After suffering heartbreaks at the Australian Open and the Indian Wells Masters, the Russian star was dubbed to win the title at the Monte Carlo Masters. However, minutes ago, he suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of Karen Khachanov in straight sets 6-3, 7-5. To add fuel to the fire, Medvedev was involved in another controversial moment during the match.

In the 11th game of the second set, Medvedev lost a close rally and was left frustrated with things not going his way. Subsequently, he threw his racket hard onto the court and looked visibly upset. However, his actions didn’t go down well with the fans, who criticized his violent act.

As the video of him smashing the racket went viral on social media, fans took to the comments section to post their replies to this incident. One of the fans thought that he should’ve received punishment for it, saying, “that’s a default lmfao.”

Similarly, another fan felt that Medvedev was lucky to get away with it. The comment read, “The things this fraud gets away with is unreal.”

One of the Twitter users echoed the common sentiment that Medvedev’s actions should’ve been punished with a default, saying, “that’s a default and if anyone who’s not a tt favorite would’ve done the tl would be burning.”

On the other hand, one fan opted to react in a hilarious way by saying, “Man out here flinging rackets like they are chinese throwing stars.”

Lastly, one of the fans felt that it was a common sight seeing Medvedev venting his frustrations. The comment read, “What a bummer with this sh**ty player. Always doing a show in all the tournaments.” (Translated using Google Translate)

This is not the first time we have seen Medvedev engulfed in controversy in recent times. At the same tournament, the Russian star became a talking point because of his actions.
