'I don’t know if he has a wife...': Medvedev's unfiltered 'sorry' dig at US Open spectator is unmissable - Watch

Daniil Medvedev ended Sebastian Baez's 12-match winning streak in the early hours of Sunday in the Arthur Ashe Stadium as he beat the Argentine 6-2, 6-1 7-6(6) in another post 1am finish to move into the fourth round of the 2023 US Open. It will be a fifth consecutive appearance in the pre-quarters in New York where he had won his maiden Grand Slam back in 2021. But the unmissable part from the proceedings was not from the intense third-round clash, but was from the post-match interaction where Medvedev gave 2019 vibes.

Remember 2019, when Medvedev had a whole lot of content for the electric US Open crowd? It started right after his infamous middle-finger gesture at the umpire during one of his early round matches, but eventually ended with the runner-up sending a heartwarming message to the crowd after his loss to Rafael Nadal in the final.

“Thanks to all the guys who don’t shout between 1st & 2nd serve. There’s 1 guy, I don’t know if he has a wife. I don’t know how she’ll sleep because he’s so pumped up he’s gonna end the night saying ‘vamo!’ nonstop. I feel sorry for him," he said.

The presenter was left in splits as she said, "You are a piece of work, Medvedev", while the commentators were heard laughing as well.
