Medvedev took the LED advertising boards personally after blowing three match points on Brandon Nakashima at 5-4 in the second set. He smashed his racquet into them until they cracked, then kicked the screens as if they were responsible for the sitters he missed. Lahyani issued the code violation while Medvedev moved on to demolishing the microphones by kicking one, knocking over its replacement, and dragging another down with both hands. This dude tore through the setup like the hardware had been the one dumping easy balls all afternoon. The fourth seed keeps acting like he is still in the fight for every single point even though he just used Cincinnati's equipment as his punching bag. Those advertising boards never blew a match point in their existence. Medvedev simply sent the tournament the bill for his own missed sitters and the 51 unforced errors that followed. He turned a tournament tantrum into a procurement issue. Cincinnati brought tennis hardware; Medvedev brought a consumer review written with his feet.
