Medvedev beaten after photographer invades court

Russian tennis star left fuming after mid-match distraction

Russian tennis pro Daniil Medvedev was surprisingly defeated at the US Open by Benji Bonzi after a bizarre mid-match distraction. The top seed was cruising ahead when a photographer jumped over a court barrier and rushed to take shots of the player, disrupting the match and causing Medvedev to lose his cool and smash his racquet on the floor. The player was subsequently criticized by fans and commentators for his reaction, and many have questioned whether the incident was a calculated distraction by his opponent. Following the incident, the tennis association has released a statement promising to review photographer conduct and stadium rules to prevent similar incidents in the future.
