Later, he got another code violation for when he was receiving a serve. The chair umpire gave Nick a violation for delaying the server. As Daniil was ready to serve, Nick went to his towel, and that prompted the chair umpire to make that call. Nick argued about it with the chair umpire, with zero effect. 

The match finally ended in the 4th set, and Medvedev won the match by 7-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
