Daniil Medvedev got the Novak Djokovic treatment after the crowd booed him at the Monte Carlo Masters for arguing with the referee over a ball mark on clay. The Russian lost the first set 3-6 to Alexander Zverev and showed his frustration when his German opponent came back to level the second 5-5.
Djokovic, the number one seed, was also booed earlier in the day on Thursday when he argued with the chair umpire during his third-round loss to Lorenzo Musetti. Mevedev led 3-1 at the start of the second set but showed his frustration when Zverev returned to the charge and his German opponent added grist to his opponent’s mill by celebrating a lucky shot at the net.
As Zverev came back in the second set, Medvedev showed his aggression by first sending balls against the billboards. As the German made it 5-5, Mevedev was booed by the crowd as he argued with the referee about a line of play decision. The Russian won the second set 7-5 and joked with the public about his past behavior.
