Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev got into a verbal quarrel with a judge chair in his third round of Shanghai Masters. Medvedev, who played against the Tien pupil, lost his cool after the arbitration presidency prolonged for his delay.
The Russian star did not accept the judge’s decision kindly and jumped on it. He claimed that no one had gave the legendary Rafael Nadal a violation of the code for his lengthy service routine throughout his career. Medvedev said in an aggressive tone that he had always waited 55 seconds before Rafa Nadal serves, yet he never found it in violation of the code.
“All my life, I served and waited for the raf for 55 seconds. And at the first opportunity you will give me a violation of the code. I played Rafa 5 times, it was not once ready to serve and ready to return.
Medvedev for Referee:

This is not the first time that Medvedev had big arguments with the referee this season. In fact, in the China Open, the tournament in front of Shanghai, Medvedev angered into the referee after his punishment was filed for “the best”.
Medvedev fought with convulsions against Tien in China Open and went to the referee to explain his case. He asked the referee in a classic medveve’s way, “Who are you for me, what is my best effort?”
Medvedev eventually gave Walkover in this game.

The chairman of the referee Greg Allensworth replied by giving Bonzim a fresh first portion, which caused Medvedev’s anger.
