Athletistic/Tennis. Two-time mixed doubles TBSH winner Andrey Olkhovsky spoke about the clash between Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev’s third racket in the world and the fans in the stands during the second round match of the US Open 2023 with the Australian Christopher O. ‘Connell, and also commented on the Russian’s performance in this encounter.
“There’s nothing new in that, Daniil always had a specific relationship with the fans at the US Open. Maybe it’s the behavior of the fans that sometimes causes his wobbles in the game, and he commits a lot of double faults often behaves inappropriately, which is why questions arise here and for the referees who manage the whole game.
There are very strict rules for the athletes, but the judges must also control what happens in the stands so that there are fewer such moments. Especially in the evening, when the public can already get tired of tennis and behave somewhat inadequately. As for the game itself, Daniil played well. He clearly played stronger than his opponent, but at some point there was a failure. Against higher-level players, such failures can turn into more serious problems,” he said, as quoted by Olkhovsky TASS.
