It became extremely hot when Russian Daniil Medvedev advanced to the eighth finals of the US Open.

During the match against Spaniard Feliciano Lopez, he was bowed out during basically the entire match, after he tore a towel from a ball boy.

However, Medvedev won the match, and thanked the audience afterwards.

- 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!

Two incidents

Now he has been penalized by the tournament management. He is fined a total of $ 9,000 (just over SEK 88,000) for two incidents during the match. $ 5,000 for tearing the towel from the ball boy, and 4,000 for pointing the finger at the audience.

This is the third time Medvedev has been fined during the tournament, in three matches. After the first round, he was fined $ 7,500 for an oral outburst, and in the second match he was fined $ 2,500 for throwing a racket.

Still goes plus

Thus, he received a total of $ 19,000 during the tournament, which is equivalent to just over SEK 186,000.

But he still goes with the plus during the tournament. Since he has reached the quarterfinals, he is guaranteed $ 280,000 (just over SEK 2.7 million).
