NEW YORK (Reuters) -Andrey Rublev said he was open to helping fellow Russian and childhood friend Daniil Medvedev deal with his emotions after an extraordinary public meltdown at the U.S. Open that compounded a woeful year at the Grand Slams.
Medvedev lost 6-3 7-5 6-7(5) 0-6 6-4 to Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi in a chaotic clash on Sunday where the 29-year-old former champion launched a tirade against the chair umpire and whipped up a jeering crowd that prevented his opponent from serving.
