Daniil Medvedev is a pure entertainer! Be it with his tennis or his on-court antics, he never fails to steal the limelight. However, there are times when we have seen him making the headlines with his angry outbursts as well, though. In fact, other than being a pure entertainer, the former world number one is also well known for arguing with umpires, smashing rackets, or even getting into heated arguments with opponents and fans. For example, recently, during his QF match against Corentin Moutet at the Citi Open, he was a bit frustrated with his performance in that match and even threw his racket across the court. Just days after that incident, he’s back again in the headlines!
Reason? His on-court behavior! However, this time it was more funny rather being being an angry outburst. After winning his first match at the 2025 Canadian Open against Dalibor Svrcina by 7-6(3),6-4, Daniil Medvedev set up for a clash against Australia’s Alexei Popyrin. In this match, although he won the first set by 7-5, Popyrin came back in the second set by winning it with a 6-4 margin. Things are well poised for an epic third setter. But other than this thrilling contest, Medvedev’s bizarre reactions during the match stole away the limelight.
In one instance, he was seen covering his face with his hand and swinging his racket randomly in order to portray his annoyance with something. He looked quite baffled by his own antics during this tense face-off. In another video clip, Medvedev was spotted faking a shot while trying to leave a ball that went way out of the line. This man is insane!
