The first-round match between No. 13 seed Daniil Medvedev and Benjamin Bonzi on Sunday night at the US Open turned chaotic when, of all things, a photographer prematurely stepped onto the court as Bonzi served for the match.

Daniil Medvedev's controversial moment at the US Open drew widespread attention, sparking commentary from none other than former American tennis player Patrick McEnroe.

Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev created a chaotic situation in a U.S. Open match against France's Benjamin Bonzi on Sunday night in New York.

At Wimbledon in 2017, Medvedev was fined after emptying his wallet and throwing coins at umpire Mariana Alves following a five-set loss to Belgium's Ruben Bemelmans. He disputed a series of controversial calls and said after the match "it was very hot out there" and couldn't remember if he'd asked for Alves' removal.

Controversy arose early in the US Open, as Daniil Medvedev's first-round loss against Benjamin Bonzi featured a moment that raised eyebrows at Louis Armstrong Stadium.

A photographer walked onto the court when Benjamin Bonzi was about to serve for the match on Sunday night, completely disrupting play.

Daniil Medvedev’s match was delayed more than six minutes between points Sunday night, after a photographer entered the court on match point and the 2021 U.S. Open champion became enraged by the chair umpire’s decision to award his opponent a first serve.
