Daniel Medvedev took a step towards oblivion by the Montreal Master 1000. After the consecration in Los Cabos, the world number 1 arrived as the favorite in the Canadian competition, but at the debut he had the always complicated Nick Kyrgios, and finally said goodbye in the first round after losing 6-7 (2), 6-4 and 6-2.
But not only that, because moreover, when he left the field after the defeat against the Australian, the Russian tennis player had to make an offensive comment from a spectator, who yelled “loser” from the other side of the fences. Medvedev heard him and did not let him pass: he immediately turned to face the person responsible.
Seeing the tennis player’s reaction, the security officers quickly approached the place as a precaution, but the Russian exchanged only a few words with the viewer and, after a round trip lasting less than a minute, He made a gesture asking him to think, then turned and continued on his way.
Medvedev fell in three sets against Kyrgios.
Although this episode happened last Wednesday, the video went viral in the last few hours and Medvedev’s reaction quickly reached the main sports portals in the world.
