'It's out!': Medvedev rages at officials in two different outbursts at Monte Carlo

Daniil Medvedev had two separate outbursts during his Monte Carlo Masters run. During his match against Gaël Monfils he was a set up when he angrily disagreed with two calls on the baseline and vented his displeasure at the line judge.

Umpire Mohamed Lahyani twice came on court to check calls and calm down the Russian fourth seed. Medvedev was 40-15 up but lost his serve and then went 4-1 down in the second set before winning five games in a row to seal a 6-2, 6-4 success and progress to a last-16 meeting with compatriot Karen Khachanov. Medvedev was proved correct both times and after the game, when Lahyani said he would apologise, Medvedev replied: 'How can you apologise, I lost the freaking game. How did I lose the game when it's out? It's out, it's out.'

The next day, during his match against Khachanov, Medvedev was once again upset by officials after a bad line call while he was serving, this was after he hit a double fault losing his serve. Medvedev told the officials to 'open [their] fricken eyes' and questioned who would 'take action' against the bad calls.

how can that be? ball is out and the point is still given? I would be outraged too and twice!

[madilynsmith]

"Do you get a fine if I lose this game" 😂

[bobertrobertson]

Don’t know why Hawkeye isn’t instituted at every tournament now, like judges are useless

[etin]

Medvedev does have a point. There should be repercussions for bad decisions cos it can decide a match. Its a crucial decision.

[kevinfernando]

Stealing the point from Medvedev and then punishing him for getting angry 🫡

[djepp]

He doesn’t need glasses because he doesn’t see anything 😂🤣🤣🤣💀💀

[superdle]

Its out, out!!
and
Hey Carlos!, did i ask for the physio?
Instant classic lines 😂
We need guys like him.

[speabody]

Even Monf is perplexed at getting the point lol

[AA-lels]

So they had hawkeye installed but didn't use it for the calling, only for the broadcast?

[kytriesstuff]

It was literally the next point where the second out call is missed.
When the margins on winning and losing at this level are so small, a bad call can cost a player tens of thousands of dollars.

[doepieduplessis]

even i could see it was out and i am in south africa..!!!

[mbwebsolution]

Why the hawk eye is still not used on clay courts ? It's ridiculous

[Eric]

Medvedev is right in the sense that they have hawkeye but they don't use it and that nobody takes responsibility for f-ups. The ball was out, it's proven but Medvedev still loses the point. And the most useless person in tennis is the supervisor because he will side with the chair umpire no matter what. Under no circumstances will the supervisor ever overrule a decision of the chair umpire. They are just there to say "let's play" and that nothing can be done.

I love Daniil, man. When he arrived on the ATP scene I really disliked him… but then I started to realize that he was the rational one. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s often hilarious.

[juandixonformvp]

In my opinion it is simply not natural for a human to stare at a line and make accurate calls. Machines are of course much better suited to handle this task. Anyone who has been to a live tennis match knows how the heat can be brutal and other distractions like crowd noise, shadows on the court etc., will obviously impact human referees. Also, for serves the ball moves so fast the human eye simply cannot keep up.

[Sebastian-wzwh]

This is a masters event, it is unacceptable to still not have electronic line calling even when there is technology available. And medvedev does have a point, why shouldn't the umpires get penalized when they make a wrong call.

[ashleighuk]

Well done Daniil, I'm glad you made a big issue about this!

[Nightwing-bhtn]

Later in the match? You mean the very next point??

[markfortuin]

I feel for Medvedev. It’s like the entire system is against him. Not cool.

[suyog.]

I'm always on Medvedev's side, he argues more but on the right matters.
2:47 that's a bonus 😂
