Dubaï Medvedev

During his quarter-final in Dubai against Tallon Griekspoor, Daniil Medvedev lost his temper once again with chair umpire Adel Nour, with whom he had already been upset in Rotterdam earlier this month.

This time, after losing a tiebreak despite having four match points and receiving a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct, the Russian lost his composure, engaging in a tense discussion with the chair umpire (see video below):

Medvedev: "Why did you give me a warning?"

Adel Nour, chair umpire: "You know what you said to me."

Medvedev: "You're really sensitive. What's this about? Double standards against Russians?"

Chair umpire: "Don't say something like that Daniil, I treat you all the same way."
