Daniil Medvedev’s Upside-Down Racket Moment: Taylor Fritz Reacts to Controversial ATP Finals Match

American tennis player Taylor Fritz he said he was appalled by Russia’s behavior Daniel Medvedev in their match at the ATP Finals in Turin.

On Sunday, Fritz defeated Medvedev in the first match of the group stage with a score of 6:4, 6:3. In the second set, Medvedev threw his racket, at one of the techniques he took it from the back side and tried to get the service with the hand.

– What did you think when you saw Daniel with an upside down racket in his hands on your servant?

– I was just laughing. I think it’s very funny. Even when he’s not playing with me, he always makes me laugh. I laughed more between plays when he threw the racket up.

It’s just his nature. He turned the racket over, but it was 40:0 on my serve. So it doesn’t matter. He accepted the service anyway.

I had to tell myself that I had to focus. Sometimes you lose weight when your opponents pretend they’re barely trying. And then they start pushing again and catch you off guard. This happens more often in professional tennis than you might think. They play half-heartedly, you try to win quickly, and they catch you,” Fritz said in a press conference after the game.

Medvedev’s next opponent at the Australian tournament is Alex De Minaur, the meeting will be held on Tuesday.
