Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev had an intense confrontation with the chair umpire during his match against Swiss player Stan Wawrinka at the ATP in Rotterdam. Despite this situation, Medvedev continued playing the match, which had been close and entertaining until then, with Wawrinka taking the first set in a tiebreak.
The discussion was triggered when Medvedev wasted a point and was penalized with a 'time violation' by the chair umpire. Furious about this decision, the Russian player expressed his annoyance loudly, even telling the umpire: "You are very bad. You see nothing." Additionally, he accused him of seeking problems without any reason, recalling past incidents with other players.
Despite Medvedev's strong words, the match continued, and the Russian couldn't contain his anger, labeling the chair umpire as "absolute garbage" and accusing him of acting unfairly. Despite this controversy, the sporting event went on, and Medvedev tried to maintain his concentration despite the tense situation on the court.
