00:00Let's move to tennis. Speaking of my goodness, of course, where 13th ranked Daniel Medvedev was

00:04fined $42,500 for his wild antics on the first day of the U.S. Open. That's, of course, where

00:11he berated an official and destroyed several of his rackets. This after a cameraman walked onto

00:15the court during his first round upset loss to Benjamin Bonzi. Now, Medvedev received a $30,000

00:21fine for an unsportsmanlike conduct, plus a $12,000 fine for racket abuse. The Russian also

00:26received boos from the crowd as he yelled at the umpire, which caused a six-minute delay

00:30in the match. And I think both the unsportsmanlike and the racket abuse were fine. And actually,

00:36some people called for he should have been maybe hit with some code of conduct issues

00:39sooner. But it makes you wonder, what is going on with Medvedev? Because it's not even about

00:43the talent side. I understand he's frustrated he's not doing well, but the meltdown, the

00:46antics, the rackets, yelling at the umpire in Greg Allensworth, this is not the first time

00:52you've seen him do this. We've seen him flip off the crowd. You've seen him do a lot of

00:56things. So it just makes you wonder, what is happening and where do you draw the line?
