Chaos at US Open: Daniil Medvedev’s Meltdown and Benjamin Bonzi’s Stunning Victory ๐ŸŽพ๐Ÿ”ฅ


The US Open 2025 witnessed pure drama on Sunday night when a bizarre incident threw Daniil Medvedev’s first-round clash into total chaos. A photographer stepped onto the court during a crucial moment, sparking fury, confusion, and one of the most dramatic meltdowns of the tournament so far.


Photographer Causes Match Disruption ๐Ÿ“ธ

Serving for the match at 6-3, 7-5, 5-4, France’s Benjamin Bonzi was preparing for his second serve when a photographer suddenly entered the court. The interruption forced chair umpire Greg Allensworth to reset the point and grant Bonzi a first serve.

That decision enraged 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev, who stormed toward the umpire, shouting:

“Are you a man? Why are you shaking? He wants to go home, guys. He gets paid by the match, not by the hour!”

The stadium erupted in boos, whistles, and jeers, halting play for nearly six minutes.


Medvedev’s Fiery Outburst and Crowd Chaos ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ‘Ž

The heated atmosphere quickly turned wild, with fans refusing to quiet down so Bonzi could continue serving. Despite the chaos, Bonzi stayed focused while Medvedev completely lost his cool, arguing relentlessly with the umpire.

The US Tennis Association later confirmed that the photographer’s credentials were revoked and he was escorted out of the venue.


A Five-Set Thriller ๐ŸŽพ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Although Medvedev initially fought back, saving match points and even dominating the fourth set 6-0, Bonzi kept his composure. Backed by cheers of “Allez!” from his team, he sealed a remarkable victory with a stunning backhand winner:

Final Score: 6-3, 7-5, 6-7(5), 0-6, 6-4

Afterward, Bonzi cupped his hand to the crowd ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, soaking in the moment despite the boos:

“It was crazy. Some fans supported me, others booed me. But the energy was amazing.”


Medvedev’s Reaction ๐ŸŽค

In his press conference, Medvedev clarified that his anger was not directed at the photographer but at the umpire’s call:

“Every time there’s noise between serves, it’s never a first serve. But this time, they gave him a first serve. That’s what made me angry.”

He admitted the wild atmosphere almost motivated him:

“Honestly, while living it, I thought, maybe it’s fun to finish my career with one crazy match at the US Open. The crowd pushed me back into the match.”


Bonzi Stands His Ground ๐Ÿ’ช

Bonzi, ranked world No. 51, insisted he did nothing wrong and felt Medvedev escalated the situation:

“Daniil put oil on the fire. He went with the crowd crazy. I never saw that before. I didn’t deserve to be treated like that, but I just focused on finishing strong.”


Final Thoughts ๐ŸŒŸ

This unforgettable showdown will be remembered not only for Bonzi’s breakthrough victory but also for the chaotic energy that gripped Louis Armstrong Stadium. Medvedev’s early exit marks a disappointing year at the majors, while Bonzi leaves New York with newfound fans—and critics alike.
