Nadal Criticizes Medvedev’s US Open Behavior

Daniil Medvedev He starred a few days ago that is probably one of the most embarrassing episodes of his entire career. The Russian, who fell in the first round of the US Openhe missed the respect repeatedly to the chair judge and made obscene gesture to the public.

In addition, he burst one of his rackets brutally against the bench. All in one for a Medvedev that said goodbye to one of the tournaments in which he was a candidate in the most shameful way. His ‘show’ generated many reactions, the most striking, that of Daniil’s coach, who communicated last Sunday that separated his paths after eight years.

Another of the most popular reactions has been Toni Nadal. The tennis icon hardly charged against Medvedev’s attitude: “The show of Medvedev was unfortunate. He detonated everything, although also the public, who asked for more entertainment than tennis. I am surprised that a player like Daniil is unable to control your nerves“.

Toni also showed his discontent with the sanction imposed on Russian, for him, too slight: “The time has come when the tennis leaders They propose to apply a punishment to the fact that tennis players break a racket on the track. You have to consider why this fact is each more common in our sport“.

“I’ve never seen a tennis player from Table break the shovel or a golfer to pay it With his stick after making a mistake, “Toni said in ‘El País’.

The former coach condemns bad education and bad behavior in current tennis. Toni says that now it is what is “applauded” without a “sports punishment” also referring to the attitudes of Nick Kyrgios.
