We all know Alexis Ohanian is a supportive husband. Not only does he come and support Serena Williams from the player’s box, whenever she is playing, he is also an avid follower of the sport that his wife is such a legend of.

According to his socials, he keeps track of what is going on in the WTA and the ATP Circuit. He even shared his thoughts about on-court behavior, following Daniil Medvedev’s outburst during the semifinal at Australian Open 2022.

Daniil Medvedev had an outburst on the court while playing his semifinal match against Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas. Tsitsipas’s coach and father seemed to be shouting and coaching his son after every point. This flustered Medvedev, who was a break down in the second set. Hence, he had a go at the umpire.

The Russian lost the set, but recovered to win the match 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.

Later, Alexis Ohanian tweeted, “A penalty… media outrage… satirical cartoons… those are all coming, right? No, of course, they’re not. (I have no problem w players yelling at umpires — but let them *all* do it — not just the white guys).”

He said, “Tennis, we don’t fight with the fists, but tennis is a fight. It’s a one v one against another player. So I’m actually really respectful to players who almost never show their emotions because it’s tough. I can get really emotional… I do regret it, but in the heat of the moment, I just lost it.” 

Medvedev revealed that while what he said was unusual and can be called funny; he was definitely out of his mind for doing it.

Now, Medvedev, who will play Rafael Nadal in the finals at the Australian Open, has received a hefty $12,000 fine for his rant.
