In principle, during the entire match between fifteenth-seeded Daniil Medvedev and the Spaniard Feliciano Lopez screamed and bowed the crowd to the Russian, after he tore a towel from a ball boy. He was penalized with a warning from the referee, and then threw his racket in the referee's direction.
But the fierce mood against him did not detract from his game. He won the third round match by 3-1 in set, and when he was interviewed on the course after the match he chose to thank the audience.
- First of all, I want to say: Thank you all! Is energy gave me the victory. If you hadn't been here I probably would have lost. It was so tough, I had cramps yesterday. So I want all of you to know this when you sleep tonight: I won thanks to you, he said, raising his arms in the sky - and receiving even more burps and screams, after which he waved in a gesture that said something like : "Give me more!"
"Will win for you"When he got the word back, he chose to continue in the same style:
- The energy you all give me will probably be enough for the next five games. The more you do this, the more I will win for you! Thanks!
In the next round, which is the eighth quarter, Medvedev will face German Dominik Koepfer.
