Medvedev has acted like a total prick.

What happened?
Funny but also a dick move. No idea why the crowd are booing him, but if I'm honest it's nice to see a player giving it back to the crowd. Most players would just be polite by either apologising or pretending it's not there.
Osaka is obviously a very different personality and I'm sure the situation was very different but if she gave a speech like that after US Open final last year, that would have been a brilliant feck you to the crowd.
He kind of deserved the booing. His behavior in the first set was pretty poor. He ripped the towel out of a ball boys hand, was hurling abuse at the ref and flung his racket towards the chair and then gave the crowd the finger when he saw them cheering for Lopez. The crowd was actually pretty indifferent initially but after his behavior, they were firmly against him and even celebrated his double faults.
Hanging out with Nick has really not done wonders for him or Tsitsipas. Both have acted like brats this past week.
Not seen the incidents but tennis are a bit too pretentious. In a high stakes sporting contest, things can get heated and not every individual is equally composed and mild mannered. I mean, I do prefer the ones who behave classily on court, but players should be cut some slack (unless they're Krygios levels of moron).
Also, extend the grief equally if you want to. Serena for example has gotten away with being a completely arrogant tool all career long but get the benefit of doubt becuase she's successful

Yeah and just read he got disqualified from a event for saying his black opponent was friends with the black umpire, so that has put me off the guy.
I can't stand Serena's antics either and Nick is just on a different level altogether.
Yeah I've never exactly been a fan of this guy. He's got a history of not being the greatest person on tour and now he's spending an increased amount of time with Nick and it seems to be rubbing off.
Who got disqualified from what? E: Found it, Medo in 2016 again in America.
Nice from Medvedev, not that I mind seeing hostile crowd more often.

I wouldn't say this has anything to do with Nick though, he's always had a pretty short temper on court. I watched the match he lost at Wimbledon vs Goffin and he got wound up very easily.
Always a great story 
My girl Goerges in the 4th round
Another five-set-match for Zverev against Bedene?
Another five-set-match for Zverev against Bedene?
Zverev has lost the first set (I think he was already 4-0 up) against Bedene 
Zverev wins this time the tie-break and the 2nd set.....still he plays again too much tennis.
The Osaka Gauff match was a bit of a demolition in the end.
Nice touch from Osaka at the end of the match and the on court interview.

Rublev & kyrgios have just played out a set with a tiebreaker in 35 minutes. Not seen that in a long time
Not even one deuce in any of the service games
Rublev knocks out Kyrgios with ease.
Kyrgios looked tired in round three and people think this joke would have survived 6 matches.

I couldn't watch much of the night session at the Arthur Ashe Stadium....that Osaka would beat Gauff was a bit expected......but i must say that i thought Kyrgios would reach the semi-final.
Only four sets....well done Sascha.
15 points in a row for Federer.
16.
Should be 6-2 first set, and he was broken first.

6-2 again in the second set. Easy for Fedo.
Worried for a sec when he dropped the break at 3-1 but the response was furious
Dimitrov or Di Minnaur in the QF next up for Federer. The extremely difficult path gets harder
This needs one of them "stop it, he's already dead" gifs. Goffin dying, ate spoiled clams or got drunk last night?
So Djokovic will have to beat Wawrinka, Medvedev, Federer and Nadal in a row to win this?
That's not happening.
That's not happening.
Second match point taken. 6-2 6-2 6-0, didn't expect this.
I saw the last set, it was a bit of a joke. Federer was good on forehand and volleys, but Goffin was non-existent.
If anyone at in the world can do it, it's him.
Federer and Medvedev have been pretty poor this tournament so if he's at his best and the shoulder is fine, he should beat both of them. Stan I think is a bit of a dodgy one.
The post-match interview and the crowd games were tougher for Federer than the match.
Now my eyes to Dimitor vs De Minaur and Konta vs Pliskova.

Depends on his shoulder problems.
Can't see him doing it, especially with the questions over his shoulder.
I believe he's only won one slam beating Federer and Nadal back to back (USO 2011) and with Stan and Medvedev before, I'm not sure he will be able to beat these guys comfortably enough to have enough gas in the tank
Think this could be Nadal's. Whoever survives the other side may not have enough to then beat him in the final.
Konta wins the 2nd set against Pliskova
Dimitrov now 2-0 up in sets against De Minaur.....finally "The old Dimitrov" is back.
Do we think Martic will beat S.Williams?

And Konta has beaten Pliskova .....if she can beat Pliskova then she has a good chance against Keys or Svitolina too.
Dimitrov has easily beaten De Minaur in three sets too.
.....if she can beat Pliskova then she has a good chance against Keys or Svitolina too.Dimitrov has easily beaten De Minaur in three sets too.
And S.Williams has beaten Martic too in two sets.....but she has suffered a ankle injury.
If that ankle twist is serious enough, it's going to be a big issue going forward.
That will be a long tough match for Medvedev......Köpfer plays again amazing tennis.
Koepfer is playing some incredible stuff so far against Medvedev. A set and break up so far.
If Köpfer can keep that level then he will win because Medvedev looks pretty tired.
