‘More Drama to Get Impressions?’ – Fans Brutally Slam Daniil Medvedev’s Obnoxious Act at Monte-Carlo Masters

Things haven’t gone according to Daniil Medvedev‘s plans this year. At the Australian Open, he suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the final against Jannik Sinner. Further, he is yet to win a title in 2024 and enters the clay-court season empty-handed. Recently, another unfortunate incident occurred with the Russian tennis star.

Medvedev is in Monaco where he is playing in the Monte Carlo Masters. In the second-round clash against Gael Monfils, a couple of calls went against him. As a result, he had a heated outburst for the chair umpire and wasn’t happy with the line judges. During the changeover, he made his feelings clear in a strong way. The video of Medvedev’s outburst with the chair umpire went viral on social media and thousands of fans reacted to it.

One fan was tired of the drama at tennis matches. The comment took a strong aim at the tournament, which read, “Monte-Carlo has no more money to equip Foxtenn? Or they need more drama to get impressions?”

One of the fans took to Twitter and urged Medvedev to come back stronger, writing, “Mo, stand up.”

Further, another fan wasn’t happy with the Russian star’s behavior, calling him out by saying, “Take a look.. When the Russian fox Medvedev gets angry.”

One of the Twitter users found the incident funny and commented, “Lol he’s at it again” alluding to Medvedev’s quirky personality.

Meanwhile, one fan took a sarcastic jibe at Medvedev’s behavior during the match. The comment read, “Medvedev and being a diva (affectionate) on clay. Name a more iconic duo.”

Medvedev eventually went on to win the match in straight sets against Monfils and enter the pre-quarterfinals. He further revealed how he managed to overcome the mid-match controversy and prevail in the encounter.
