Daniil Medvedev‘s first meeting in the 2024 edition of the Masters will remain that of breakdown for the 28-year-old Russian, beaten by Taylor Fritz (6-4, 6-3) and unable to keep calm.
At the end of the second set, he received a penalty point for throwing a racket, having already broken one earlier in the match.
Finally, he engaged in a series of antics, throwing his racket in the air and purposely missing the landing, even going so far as to hold it upside down while receiving a serve… before putting it back in the right direction at the last moment.
