Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas have a rather tricky rivalry and there was a nasty episode during their Australian Open semifinal.
After losing the second set, Medvedev got absolutely mad against the umpire, saying that he should give a warning to Tsitsipas for being coached by his father continuously during the match.
Medvedev kept on swearing at the umpire calling him “stupid” and “small cat.” In defense of the umpire, it’s really tricky for him to catch Stefanos’ father coaching when he wears a mask.
Here are the videos.
