No, the Russian is not going to retire from tennis, even though he may have thought about it on the court today. Those were his words at the press conference after falling in the first round of the US Open.

It's hard to believe how we've come to this situation, but it's real. The 2025 season will go down in history as the one where Daniil Medvedev could only win one match in a Grand Slam event. A match in which he struggled for over four hours to defeat Kasidit Samrej, ranked outside the top 400 worldwide. Since then, it's been all losses. The Russian has shown he's not mentally where he should be, but most concerning is that his level hasn't matched up either, hence at this point in the season, we see him falling out of the top 15 and with his head burning with frustration. A critical moment at 29 years old, where a restructuring of his entire environment seems necessary for the machine to start working again.

A photographer enters the track at the worst possible moment, the rest is history. That's how the butterfly effect gave Daniil the opportunity to overtake Bonzi.
It doesn't matter that now the Grand Slams have entered the dynamic of stretching the first round of the tournament over three days, as we will never stop seeing unexpected eliminations on each of its days. In this US Open 2025, it was no different, so this Sunday, August 24, it has already seen its first seed eliminations, both in the men's and women's fields. Let's quickly review them:

The scenes left by Daniil Medvedev and Benjamin Bonzi at the end of the match at the US Open 2025 were absolutely cinematic. The Russian didn't hesitate to smash his racket against his bench numerous times, all while the Frenchman celebrated with the crowd. Daniil decided to leave the court while his opponent was being interviewed, a rare sight after appearing very hurt and frustrated at losing the match.

Brutal loss to swallow.

The photographer who entered when Benjamin Bonzi was about to serve match point in his favor and for whom the Frenchman was given a first serve again, causing Daniil Medvedev frustration, was escorted out of the court by the US Open 2025 security team, who will investigate the situation that may result in the loss of his accreditation.

"It's a bit worrying," said the Serb about those recovery issues during his first-round match at the US Open 2025.
Any tennis fan knows that Daniil Medvedev reaches his peak level of craziness during the American summer tour, especially hitting his highest point at the US Open 2025. A curious example of this is the Russian's reaction when conceding a break against Benjamin Bonzi, whom he had already imitated in celebration gestures in previous games. Clearly, the New York courts are not suiting Daniil well at all.

Moments after defeating Learner Tien in three sets in his first round of the US Open 2025, Novak Djokovic spoke on court in the tournament interview about his feelings, making his intentions very clear: "I still have the talent. I still have the motivation... I wish I were younger, but I hope you enjoy my tennis," said the Serbian to the Arthur Ashe crowd.

This is a great example of one of those points where the player gives absolutely everything on the court. It was Mariano Navone during his first-round match at the US Open 2025 where he faced Marcos Giron. The American tennis player dominated throughout, but the Argentine did not give up, running from one side of the court to the other to close the exchange with absolute brilliance.
