Borges Medvedev Vienne

The Vienna tournament provided a moment as funny as it was unexpected: a giant tennis ball dancing just a few meters away from Daniil Medvedev. The Russian, stoic, continued his match as if nothing had happened.

The tennis season always gives us unusual images from various tournaments. This time, it was in Vienna that Daniil Medvedev found himself at the center of a rather hilarious sequence.

After winning his first-round match against Nuno Borges in three sets (6-4, 6-7, 6-2), the Russian had to stay focused during the changeovers. Because the organizers of the Austrian tournament, to entertain the crowd, decided to enlist a dancer disguised as a tennis ball.

Faced with the dance moves of this giant tennis ball, Medvedev perfectly maintained his concentration (see video below).
