A bizarre moment in the match between Medvedev and Bublik
–
Bublik won the first set in demanding conditions with a ratio of 6: 4, which coped better with hot and humid weather. At the beginning of the second set, it started to rain and the match was interrupted for almost an hour. Then Medvedev won three of the next four games and took the second set 6: 3. However, there was still considerable frustration on him.
This was due to the fact that he was not allowed to go to the locker room to change his underwear. For what reason, it is not clear. “The only chance to change your underwear is over there, but there are cameras,” Medvedev said to the judge. “I can do it as well, but everyone will see me,” Rus continued. But he obviously didn’t want to striptease in front of the fans.
