Shut your mouths," when Medvedev clashed with the Parisian crowd
Daniil Medvedev and Grigor Dimitrov faced off in the second round of the Paris Masters 1000. During this match, the Russian had a run-in with the French crowd.
The cause was him throwing his racket, which earned him boos. This was followed by a discussion with the chair umpire and words directed at the crowd: "I can't play when they boo. They are stupid.
If they don't boo, I play. Hey, if you don't boo, I play guys, but you shut your mouths, okay! I don't play like that. I didn't do anything for them to boo me."
These remarks naturally earned him a warning from the chair umpire. After his defeat in the third-set tie-break, Medvedev left, making a rude finger gesture at the crowd.
When asked about this gesture, he ironically dodged the question: "No, I didn't do it. I was just looking at my nails. Nothing more. Why would I do that to this magnificent Paris-Bercy crowd?
