"At least next match don't go out for 8 minutes" - Daniil Medvedev on how Stefanos Tsitsipas could have avoided getting booed by the crowd
The Russian was asked during his post-match presser whether he had any advice for Tsitsipas on how to get people to stop booing him. Medvedev himself had successfully managed to turn things around with the New York crowd during his run to the 2019 US Open final, with a combination of provocative gestures and apologetic comments.
Daniil Medvedev said on Friday that the first thing Stefanos Tsitsipas should try to do is avoid making the same mistake in his subsequent matches. The Russian was referring to the fact that Tsitsipas took another long toilet break in his second-round match against Adrian Mannarino, after having already incurred the wrath of Andy Murray for a similar action in the first round.
The Russian then recalled his own experience during the 2019 US Open, where he avoided repeating his mistakes after having earned the ire of the crowd once.

The Russian was referring to the fact that Tsitsipas took another long toilet break in his second-round match against Adrian Mannarino, after having already incurred the wrath of Andy Murray for a similar action in the first round.
"I want to say we all need to go to change sometimes our clothes," Medvedev said. "Somebody does it five minutes, six minutes, eight minutes. What happened with him and Murray happened. He got booed. At least next match don't go out for eight minutes, and that's what he did."
The Russian then recalled his own experience during the 2019 US Open, where he avoided repeating his mistakes after having earned the ire of the crowd once.
The 25-year-old did point out, however, that Stefanos Tsitsipas was under no obligation to listen to advice from anybody."If you will remember 2019, I did a mistake," Medvedev said. "Well, I was not continuing to do it every other match, otherwise the crowd would not go behind me. That's the only advice I can give."
"I mean, he has his own life," Medvedev said. "He probably won't listen to my advice."

Stefanos Tsitsipas was caught in a huge controversy over his long toilet breaks, which also resulted in the crowd booing him. Daniil Medvedev, who beat Pablo Andujar in his third-round match on Friday, appeared in a press conference later where he weighed in on Tsitsipas' actions.
