Play at the US Open was briefly halted late Monday when a cameraperson walked onto the court during Benjamin Bonzi’s match-point serve against Daniil Medvedev, triggering a six-minute delay. The chair umpire ruled that Bonzi could replay his first serve, prompting an animated protest from Medvedev, who repeatedly challenged the decision. The interruption appeared to swing momentum. Medvedev saved the ensuing match point, broke Bonzi’s serve and went on to win the third-set tiebreak 7-6. The Russian then raced to a 5-0 lead in the fourth set before play continued, keeping alive a match that had looked all but over minutes earlier.
This is absolutely wild. Bonzi had match point. Photographer steps on the court after 1st goes into net. Umpire says he gets 1st again. Medvedev breaks and wins set. He’s now up 5-0 in the 4th. 5th could be epic or a total meltdown after that delay. https://t.co/YmUf1nv2Fe
