Medvedev mentions Nadal in his complaints to Lahyani: "I have waited for him my whole life when serving"
Daniil Medvedev continues to turn his matches into a real rollercoaster. This time, during the round of 16 duel at the ATP Shanghai 2025 against Learner Tien, the Russian received a code violation for not being ready on time to return his opponent's serve. After losing the second set, Daniil briefly clashed with Mohamed Lahyani... and mentioned Rafael Nadal as an example of what, according to him, isn't right. "Throughout my life, I've played against Nadal and I waited 55 seconds for him to be ready to return. He never received a single violation. Today, at the first instance, you give it to me. I always waited for him to be ready to serve, and you never gave it. You are completely crazy." Another one from Crazy Daniil.
Medvedev, to Lahyani:
"I played against Nadal and waited 55 seconds for him to serve, and you never warned him. Today, at the smallest thing, you warn me.
I always waited to return, and you didn't give it. You are crazy. Completely crazy." pic.twitter.com/DjpsGTy70g— José Morón (@jmgmoron) October 8, 2025
