The photographer who interrupted the Medvedev match on US Open complained to the arbitrariness of the organizers of the tournament

The Security Service of the U.S. Tennis Open Championship deprived of accreditation for the photographer tournament, which entered the court during the match of the first circle between Russian Daniil Medvedev and Frenchman Benjamen Bongzi. It is reported by the New York Post.

The meeting of the first circle ended with the victory of Bongzi with a score of 6: 3, 7: 5, 6: 7 (5: 7), 0: 6, 6: 4. Bongzi on the matchball match in the third set hit the grid on the first present, after which the photographer came out to the back of the court, because of which the judge on the tower Greg Allensvort asked the Frenchman to give the first ball again. Medvedev was outraged by this decision and entered into conflict with the arbitrator.

According to the source, the photographer, whose name is Seljuk Akar, was deprived of accreditation after the incident. AKARA categorically disagree with this decision.

– I became a victim of arbitrariness. This is some kind of lynching. I did not violate anything at all, I followed all the instructions of the security officer. If they have a recording from the video camera, let them check, – quotes Akara New York Post.

Representatives of the Security Service said that, on the contrary, the photographer ignored oral instructions both from the officer and from the main judge of the match.
