Daniil Medvedev's meltdown at the ATP Finals: point penalty, circus, frustration (vs Taylor Fritz)

[@lalolanda8458]

This was a real meltdown. Meddy needs a break.

[@troysmith8334]

or just an anti anxiety placebo

[@Anticommunism99]

Sinner neads a break when Medvedev obliterates him today . And puts him in second position so Zverev can easily beat him in semis .

[@willreidy5851]

Meddy needs to grow up.

[@John_tennis22]

Kudos to Fritz for staying focused and ignoring all the distractions. Medvedev loves to pull these type of antics to distract opponents and next thing you know, he breaks back and gets in the lead.

[@JoshProctor-p9b]

Yes so true

[@Creees]

People said the same of Sharapova. Its too enhance themeselves rather than the opponent

[@hertor8803]

Usually I find him funny but this is simply disrespectful to the opponent. What is it with these players, did they spend so much time playing tennis they never actually had to grow up? All it was missing was for his mother to come and take him home for tea.

[@davidr2802]

but highly respectful of the group's namesake.

[@Lovetheducks]

I’m a Medvedev fan but hate when he does this stuff one, he’s better than that two, it’s not fair to his opponent. He has so much potential but perfers to be a clown

What a jerk, respect people paying that much money to watch these circus. Imagine parents wanting to teach their children playing tennis, them sitting in the stands to witness this clown behaviour

[@dhaulaghiri1692]

I think educational wise it's more valuable seeing this one than a "normal" match. It offers a far better understanding of handling the process of winning and losing.

[@Stu49583]

Rublev and Medvedev bring their awesome culture to the court

[@Clodovicus]

When he put his racket upside down, there was also laughter. I think all this booing is because he has often done unpleasant things recently, like the unwatchable gesture of wiping his butt with a ball. And other things too. The Italian public is generally very very welcoming, even in tennis I suppose. But less so this time.

[@eliabi92]

Comportamiento de un niño malcriado cuando lo castigan, lamentable si no le gusta perder que no compita, no existe en la historia un equipo o un deportiste que nunca pierda, pero ver lo que hizo mervedev es vergonzoso.

[@tops2934]

[@davidr2802]

What's the name of Danil's group?

I love Daniil, but this definitely crossed a line, and deserves disqualification! They should bring the class and beauty of Dimitrov to play the last two group matches as a substitute. He will certainly put up a fight and give the audience an authentic spectacle with his artistry!! ❤️❤️

[@nt4081]

Yes, and graciously accept a loss without behaving like a child. The ATP is allowing these violent outburst from Andrei, Daniel, Tiafoe, and the Nishioko dude who launched balls out of the stadium in the summer to get away with crap. I suppose they think they are big draw personalities. I would ratherr watch Rudd, Sinner, Fritz, Paul, and a few others.

[@kkarx]

Stop crying.

[@kreativnost]

the big Russian meltdown starts wars as well... good thing that in this and in Rublev's case it's only self-destructive. I guess it's not easy not only not winning anything, but also feeling like an outsider 99% of the time. So sad they simply don't put the work to change

With a height of 198cm, Medveve's serve is weak. Used to be way better back in 2021. This season is horrible for him, even worse than the 2022 one. Only entered one final and no other titles. Knocked out of the tournament by multiple players outside top30

Natural behaviour for somebody who's playing at the ATP Finals without having won even the most miserable title for the last 18 months. (Not that Taylor's title haul is very impressive; but at least he reached a career milestone with that US Open final.) The Bear seems finished for the really big stage. Not the player he was a couple of years back. It may well be his last appearance at the Finals. Let him have his clownish time.
