'The more you do this, the more I will win, for you guys': U.S. Open bad boy Daniil Medvedev sarcastically thanked the crowd at Louis Armstrong Stadium amid a chorus of jeers
NEW YORK - Russia’s Daniil Medvedev put the bad blood between him and the U.S. Open crowd behind him on Tuesday, apologising to fans and thanking them after having encouraged them to boo him earlier in the tournament following his erratic on-court behaviour.
Asked during an on-court interview to describe his relationship with the New York crowd, he said he had two words.“And controversy, because what I’ve done is not good,” he added, referring to how he angrily snatched a towel from a ball person and showed the crowd his middle finger during Friday’s win over Feliciano Lopez, leading to fines.
“The more you do this, the more I will win, for you guys,” said the fifth seed, who picked up fines after each of his first three matches at Flushing Meadows this year totalling $19,000. His 23rd-seeded opponent Wawrinka had got a walkover against holder Novak Djokovic in the fourth round after the world number one quit in the third set with a shoulder injury.
