Daniil Medvedev turned on Italian Open fans having been booed for much of his clash with home favourite Lorenzo Musetti. Spectators at the tournament have been eager to support their countrymen and women.
Medvedev coped with the animosity for most of the match but he snapped in the second set. The Russian was trailing 7-5 5-3 when he turned to the crowd and placed his finger to his lips. He continued to turn around as if he was looking each fan in the eye. As he did so, the boos grew louder and more vociferous. The umpire attempted to calm tensions between Medvedev and the crowd.
