Medvedev advances without drama at US Open
Daniil Medvedev eases past French qualifier Hugo Gaston 6-4, 6-2, 6-4, a year after his spectacular first-round meltdown.
One year after a dramatic first-round exit at the US Open, former champion Daniil Medvedev advanced smoothly into the second round on Sunday. The seventh-seeded Russian demonstrated his composure and skill, defeating Hugo Gaston 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 in a two-hour and 14-minute match. Medvedev expressed satisfaction with his performance, acknowledging that both wins and losses are part of the game.
He stated, "It was a far cry from last year's US Open, when Medvedev lost his cool in a first-round loss to France's Benjamin Bonzi, erupting in the third set when a photographer's mistaken foray onto the court prompted chair umpire Greg Allensworth to award Bonzi a first serve." The outburst resulted in a $42,500 fine and the termination of his coaching relationship.
