Medvedev Knocked Out of US Open After Court Photographer Sparks Chaos. Daniil Medvedev was eliminated from the US Open first round after a meltdown caused by a photographer walking onto the court during his match against Benjamin Bonzi. The incident occurred as Bonzi served for the match at 5-4 in the third set, prompting umpire Greg Allensworth to allow a second serve, angering Medvedev. Medvedev reacted furiously, whipping the crowd into a frenzy and causing a six-minute 24-second delay in play. Bonzi struggled to serve out victory amid the noise, but eventually won 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5-7), 0-6, 6-4 nearly two hours later. The photographer, who appeared to be positioning for a shot, was escorted out by security, and his credential was revoked for the 2025 US Open. Medvedev accused the umpire of “wanting to go home” and led the crowd in chants protesting the second serve decision. The match highlighted Medvedev’s frustrations this season, as he has won only one Grand Slam match so far in 2025.
