US Open LIVE: Novak Djokovic shows off gruesome injury as Medvedev ripped into by rival

Benjamin Bonzi has described Daniil Medvedev's attempts to rile up the US Open crowd in their first-round match as "crazy".

The Frenchman beat Medvedev in five sets after a controversial encounter in New York.

He said: "It was so noisy, so I never thought to wait so long before a point and between points. Well, it was a situation, very weird, and then obviously it's tough to, like, refocus on the game, to play.

"And even during the points it was very noisy, so it was tough to hear the ball, the strikes and everything.

"I mean, the rule is the rule. The guy went on the court between two serves. I mean, it's not my call to say first serve. And I think, yes, Daniil started it, and he put oil on the fire.

"He went with the crowd, crazy. He went with them. Honestly, I never saw that... maybe in a football stadium, but not in tennis."
