Photographer Court Intrusion Sparks Chaos at US Open Match

During the US Open match between Daniil Medvedev and Benjamin Bonzi, a photographer walking onto the court during Bonzi's match point caused a significant disruption, leading to a six-minute delay. Chair umpire Greg Allensworth instructed the photographer to leave and awarded Bonzi another serve due to the outside interference, a standard tennis decision that infuriated Medvedev. The Russian player confronted Allensworth angrily, mocking the umpire on camera and inciting the crowd to boo, accusing the umpire of wanting to end the match early. Medvedev repeatedly questioned the umpire's resolve and referenced past criticism of Allensworth by player Reilly Opelka, further agitating the audience. Despite Medvedev's valiant effort and comeback to force a fifth set, Bonzi ultimately won the match. The incident sparked widespread controversy and highlighted tensions between players and officials during high-stakes tennis events.
