Fans chant “loser” towards Medvedev. Daniil reacts

There seems to be some theories in the replies as to what this stems from. Some think it’s due to the growing xenophobia towards Russians. Others think this is down to Kyrgios creating a toxic environment in tennis that has stemmed to the fans. But everyone can agree a player can only take so much.

My personal opinion? It’s a gambler. A degenerate, low life piece of **** who probably put good amounts of cash on Daniil thinking it’s a safe bet (world number 1 and all), only for him to lose it.

I’m usually first to criticize pro’s who react to fans abusing them in team sports, as those same fans pay your salaries, they have full rights to criticize you for playing like ****. You’re paid enough, suck it up.

It’s different in individual sports, though, and Daniil doesn’t owe that moron anything. And he handled it perfectly, stayed calm while confronting him, said some things, and then walked away.

Post thoughts down below.

Sad scenes indeed. The small cat heckler backed down pretty quickly when Med marched over with intent.

Edit:This is @Kralingen waiting for Nadal when he loses to Kyrgios at US open

I think you hit the nail on the head here.

 

[DSH]

Without values, a society is destined to disappear.

 

[The_Order]

That was probably abmk

 

[DSH]

That was probably abmk

Maybe a *********.
They spread too easily.

 

[The_Order]

Maybe a *********.
They spread too easily.

Could be... but Med def broke abmk that night.... he's been calling him a loser pretty much any chance he gets ever since... plus backing down like that when confronted... also the class of that act fits him to a tee

 

[Humphrey20133]

Probably Slade. Lol. He has had Daniil on his craplist since the AO.

 

[Bartelby]

Tournament organisers have been too permissive with abusive fans with or without any real interest in the game.

 

[Mustard]

At times of societal crisis, like the present, this sort of stuff is worse than at calmer times.

 

[Adv. Edberg]

Yeah pretty sad, but it's just to ignore it and walk

 

[Tennfan123]

Daniil should have just ignored it. I mean, he did lose so they weren’t lying.

 

[Rosstour]

Med's karma coming back to bite him

Negativity breeds negativity. No one's heckling Korda or Alcaraz or FAA

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Was it the Wimbledon Director?

 

[recreationalplayer]

Respect Daniil for taking up for himself and facing the low life heckler face to face. Unimaginable the pressure he's under being Russian. Daniil's got guts. I hope he wins the US Open.

 

[Baseline_Bungle]

Still, I can't help noticing the irony of this tweet...

"Having respect for another person is an important rule of a human being."

Thus spoke the fan of this man:

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

I'm new here. I thought this site was about tennis. Maybe I'll just move along.

 

[duaneeo]

Wow, Medvedev is very sensitive.

 

[PUSB]

I'm new here. I thought this site was about tennis. Maybe I'll just move along.

The far left are so upset that their views have alienated voters they even now turn up on tennis threads

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Guess he realizes he is one. LOL. My mom always said, "If its bothering you, it must be the truth, So what are you doing to fix it? "

 

[PUSB]

Guess he realizes he is one. LOL. My mom always said, "If its bothering you, it must be the truth"

As a bloke Medvedev is a legend.

 

[Adv. Edberg]

Except he will be President again. Book it

I booked it 2 years ago. USA is the land of opportunity, even for a traitor and a criminal

 

[Kralingen]

Sad scenes indeed. The small cat heckler backed down pretty quickly when Med marched over with intent.

lolololol

this is me if he loses

 

[Kralingen]

Probably Slade. Lol. He has had Daniil on his craplist since the AO.

That guy is the most unhinged tennis poster online and he has a LOT of competition. I miss his YouTube rants

 

[Mr.Lob]

A bit cowardly to call a player a "loser" behind a shield of security personnel.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Med: "I bet you don't even know how to fight."

Heckler: "Bet??? How much? I need to get some of the money I lost on you back."

 

[Azure]

Sad - wonder if it was racially motivated

 

[Humphrey20133]

lolololol

this is me if he loses

Man, you better get that cardboard sign and cup ready, as you are going to lose your ass after the USO. Lol.

 

[Kralingen]

Why no faith in Nadal?

 

[Humphrey20133]

Why no faith in Nadal?

Well, not really. He just cannot stay injury free.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

The way to guarantee never to lose money on sports is to not bet in the first place.

 

[_GOATbis]

Highly likely just another case of xenophobia.

 

[Tennisist]

Now we know what to chant should he appear at the US Open.

 

[jindra]

Just a small kid that doesn't know how to fight.

 

[Kralingen]

Well, not really. He just cannot stay injury free.

I believe in him. But yes it is very risky, luckily I don’t bet more than I’m willing to lose

 

[weakera]

Why does it have to be xenophobic lol athletes get stuff yelled at them all the time no matter the race

Yeah I hear it’s getting really bad in Canada.

1. Xenophobia =/= racism
2. You know exactly why xenophobia is brought up in this particular case.
3. Westbrook is on a team sport. That fan pays his salary. He shouldn’t react. This is why I argue NBA players are softies. Wouldn’t survive two weeks in European soccer without some sort of mental breakdown.

OTOH the fan was a bozo and a major *****. The second he got close he backs up and calls him Westbrook? You’re already in the deep end, I’d just seal the deal and call him Westbrick straight to his face. What’s he gonna do, hit me? He’ll be paying me some compensation, then.

 

[pj80]

anyone know what Medman said in response?

The Westbrook clip is hilarious. I'm sure even Russ saw the humor in it. And the point is that fans clown athletes every single day. Medvedev isn't special. And fans pay his prize money.

 

[Bartelby]

Ignorant and boorish fans are not owed anything by players.

 

[Tshooter]

anyone know what Medman said in response?

“You are a small cat.”

 

[MeatTornado]

I did get a chuckle from the irony of one of those creepy obsessive fan accounts saying "Achieve something yourself in this life.."

You seem pretty obsessed with @abmk

Sad

 

[Arak]

In the good old days, a couple of punches would have settled the dispute. These days you can’t even slap a guy who disrespected your wife without being called names by the immoral crowd.

 

[Mike Sams]

Med's karma coming back to bite him

Negativity breeds negativity. No one's heckling Korda or Alcaraz or FAA

Med is ranked #1 and is a grand slam champion.

Tsitsipas shot a ball at Alcaraz in Barcelona

Some tik tok generation snowflake probably.

This is Medvedev. Just saying.
