Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune played a rather tense match in the Indian Wells quarterfinals, with Medvedev winning in 2 tough sets. There was a rather critical moment at the beginning of the second set when, during an exchange at the net, Rune had to go for Daniil’s body because he had no space. The Danish player apologized, but Daniil didn’t see that, and he reacted rather aggressively.
Eventually, everything was sorted out at the end of the match when the Russian player admitted that you didn’t see his opponent apologizing. Here is the video.
Holger Rune hit a ball at Medvedev when Daniil was at the net.
Daniil leans on the net as if he’s waiting for an apology.
He puts his fingers to his eyes to tell Holger he’s watching him 😂
