Very annoyed, the world number 4 threw his racket on the floor and it bounced straight back towards the audience.
In the end, Medvedev was simply given a warning.
That said, the referee's decision did not meet with consensus, with Frances Tiafoe addressing the supervisor directly to demand a firmer penalty.
Asked about the incident, former professional player Samantha Smith said: "For me, Daniil crossed the line. Tiafoe went to protest and we can understand that."
