NEW YORK (Reuters) -Daniil Medvedev's turbulent relationship with the U.S. Open took another dramatic turn on Sunday as the former champion was shown the door by France's Benjamin Bonzi at the end of a chaotic first-round encounter.
Medvedev brought the match to a standstill for about six minutes while staring down match point in the third set, disputing an officiating decision after a photographer had interrupted Bonzi's serve by stepping onto the court surface.
