Russian tennis sensation Daniil Medvedev recently responded to the adversarial reception from the crowd at the Paris Masters by making a gesture towards them as he exited the court. Despite the contentious nature of the interaction, Medvedev adopted a light-hearted approach and made light of the incident, attributing it to “checking his nail.” The third-ranked athlete in the world faced a challenging defeat against Bulgarian player Grigor Dimitrov, prompting him to momentarily halt his play and engage in a heated exchange with the umpire. When queried about the altercation, Medvedev humorously referred to the Parisian audience as ‘this beautiful crowd in Paris’ and played down his gesture as a simple inspection of his nails. In addition, he conveyed his frustration with the crowd’s conduct and hinted at potential reservations towards participating in future Parisian tournaments.
