Daniil Medvedev: A Rollercoaster Affair with Flushing Meadows Crowd
Daniil Medvedev's matches at the U.S. Open have been marked by a tumultuous relationship with the Flushing Meadows crowd. From being booed and heckled during key matches to tempestuous confrontations with umpires and opponents, his fiery demeanor has both entertained and frustrated fans over the years.
Former U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev has experienced a tumultuous relationship with the crowd at Flushing Meadows over the years. The Russian tennis star has been involved in several dramatic incidents, including a first-round loss to Benjamin Bonzi in 2025, where a photographer's interruption sparked a heated altercation.
Medvedev's fiery temperament flared again in 2023 against Christopher O'Connell when vocal support for the Australian rattled Medvedev and led to outbursts mid-match. Despite the crowd's animosity, he secured a four-set victory. Medvedev's 2021 triumph over Novak Djokovic was marred by persistent booing, but eventually led him to his first Grand Slam title.
In 2019, Medvedev's interaction with the fans turned confrontational after a code violation during a match against Feliciano Lopez. The fans' jeers seemed to fuel his victory, establishing a unique dynamic between Medvedev and the New York crowd. His clashes and triumphs have made Medvedev a compelling U.S. Open figure.
