Daniil Medvedev's US Open match against Benjamin Bonzi was dramatically interrupted when a photographer prematurely entered the court. This led to a six-minute delay and a controversial umpire decision, giving Bonzi a first serve instead of a second. Medvedev, known for his volatile nature, angrily confronted the umpire and incited the crowd. Despite Medvedev's comeback efforts, including a tiebreak win after the delay, Bonzi ultimately secured a stunning victory after a tense final set. This marks Medvedev's third consecutive first-round Grand Slam exit, highlighting his current struggles.
