The Australian re-tweeted a social media video in which Medvedev is seen being heckled by fans after he lost to Kyrgios in the second round of the Montreal Masters, calling the behaviour 'disgusting'.
Nick Kyrgios has slammed the "disgusting" behaviour of some tennis fans, after video circulated on social media of Daniil Medvedev being heckled after his second round loss to the Australian in Montreal.
In a video re-tweeted by Kyrgios, Medvedev is shown being called a "loser" as he walks towards the locker room with security. Medvedev then stops, turning and speaking with the fan, as someone shouts "you respect us and we respect you".On Twitter, Kyrgios labelled the fan's behaviour as "disgusting".The interaction came after Kyrgios had defeated the Russian world number one at the ATP's Montreal Masters, 6-7 , 6-4, 6-2.
At a press conference for the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati, Medvedev said he had felt compelled to approach the spectator."It would be bad to let people shout bad things at me and just keep walking. I will ask what his problem is." Daniil Medvedev responded to questions about the incident at a press conference for the Western and Southern Open."The father of the guy said something to me also — I say: 'Educate your kid'," Medvedev said.
