Ah, it’s that time of year again: When the days grow shorter, football is nearly upon us … and Daniil Medvedev is getting into it with fans at the U.S. Open.
We’ve seen this happen before and on Thursday night, the jeers may have gotten to the pro before he overcame them to beat Christopher O’Connell at Louis Armstrong Stadium in four sets.
There was one moment in which one fan yelled right before a serve. You can hear him say, “Can you shut up? … Are you stupid or what?” And the fan he’s aiming that at blew him a kiss. Too funny!
Medvedev was upset with 2 fans who were walking while he was trying to serve
“Are you stupid or what?”
One of the fans blew a kiss to him 😘
Daniil vs US Open crowd saga is back. 😂
