Tiafoe: Medvedev meltdown was a circus
American star Frances Tiafoe says Daniil Medvedev's sensation meltdown which incited the US Open crowd and delayed his dramatic five-set loss to Benjamin Bonzi was a "circus".The fiery former champion was incensed when, with Bonzi serving at 5-4 and advantage in the third set, a photographer walked onto the court between the Frenchman's first and second serve, causing a brief delay that umpire Greg Allensworth deemed merited another first serve for Bonzi.
