Australian Open runner-up Daniil Medvedev has described the crowd at Rod Laver Arena as “disrespectful” after his loss toMedvedev had little support from fans throughout the two weeks and, at times, played up to being the villain. He complained to the umpires in several matches about interruptions from fans, including during the final as the majority of the crowd cheered Nadal towards his 21st grand slam title.
The Russian, speaking at his press conference at 2.20am, said he was “no longer the kid who dreamed” of his experiences at Melbourne Park, which included beating fan favourites Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas in matches where fans were heavily against him.
