Medvedev: Unpleasant but not over the line

Daniil Medvedev is in press and has given some clarity on that incident for which he got a code violation in the first set.

Here's what he had to say...

I don’t know if it was a double bounce or not it was tricky. At Roland Garros she once did the same so I had this in my mind.

I said something in Russian, unpleasant, but not over the line.

I had no concerns over being defaulted as I didn’t say anything too bad.

Daniil Medvedev

"That is ridiculous," bellows Kyrgios on commentary - he is spot on.

Djokovic holds in relatively routine fashion.
