Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev spoke sharply after defeating German representative Alexander Zverev at the Masters series tournament in Monaco.
Medvedev, seeded under the third number, beat his opponent (13) with a score of 3:6, 7:5, 7:6 (9:7), the meeting lasted 3 hours and 8 minutes. During the match, the Russian emotionally reacted to some moments. So, in one of the episodes, he damaged the net, and in another, out of anger, he launched the ball into the wall.
“I acted like shit, sorry,” Medvedev said to Zverev during the post-match handshake.
In the quarterfinals of the tournament, the Russian tennis player will face Dane Holger Rune.
Medvedev, 27, is fifth in the ATP rankings and has won four tournaments this season.
