Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Bublik are some of the most exciting personalities in tennis. They found themselves playing a rather interesting match in Toronto where Medvedev won 4-6 6-3 6-4.
Weird Hindrance
There was a hilarious and quirky episode at the beginning of the 3rd set. Daniil hit an overhead at Bublik, who somehow managed to put the ball back in play, giving his opponent an even easier shot. In the meantime, Danii thought that the rally was over, and he said “sorry” while Bublik was just lying on the court defenseless. Curiously, the chair umpire called “hindrance,” and Medvedev lost the point even if Bublik offered to reply the point.
Daniil got furious at the call. Here is the video.
