The tennis world number one was heckled by a rude punter
Video footage has shown Russian tennis world number one Daniil Medvedev confronting an abusive fan that called him a 'loser' following his defeat to Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios at the Montreal Masters on Wednesday.
Recently winning his first tournament of 2022 at the Los Cabos Open after losing three consecutive finals, Medvedev was brought back down to earth when seen off by the Australian 6-7(1) 6-4 6-2 in the round of 32.
The blip meant that Medvedev was unable to retain his crown in the French-Canadian city, though he will hold onto the ATP world number one spot going into the US Open on August 29, where he is also the defending champion.
Over the weekend, though, footage has emerged on TikTok of Medvedev being called a 'loser' by an abusive fan that the 26-year-old Moscow native went to give a piece of his mind.
As the clip shows, Medvedev is on his way out of the Stade IGA with his bag in tow and immediately turns round when he hears the jibe directed at him.
God, how awful can fans be when they chant ‘loser’ to a tennis player after a tough battle on the court
