The Medvedev scandal
Medvedev, who lost the world number 1 after losing in the round of 16 at the last US Open, where he defended the title achieved a year earlier, continue with the streak of bad results started on the American tour, since after winning in Los Cabos at the beginning of August, he was eliminated in Montreal (last 32), Cincinnati (semifinals) and US Open.
And in that situation, the scandals keep reaching him.
This Thursday, one of the most inexplicable.
In the broadcast cameras of his game against Wawrinka, Medvedev exhibited incomprehensible behavior.
The gestures making like a monkey, the insults and the signs of sending the French to bathe: outrageous.
