1Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev won the battle but not the war Sunday night at the U.S. Open.

Facing match point during his first-round U.S. Open match against Benjamin Bonzi of France, Medvedev encouraged the crowd to vocally express their displeasure after Bonzi was given a second first serve because a photographer mistakenly stepped on the court following the first one.

The disruption caused a delay of several minutes. Once play resumed, Medvedev not only won that point, he went on to win the set and then the set after that before being eliminated in the fifth set ... and then smashing his racket in frustration .

“I didn’t do anything bad,” Medvedev later told reporters.
