Sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev commented on the disqualification of Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals of the tournament in Beijing. Match TV reports this.
“Intemperance and psychology let our athlete down,” Guberniev said.
The incident occurred in the second set of the semi-final match against Serbian Novak Djokovic with the score 7:5, 5:3 in favor of the opponent. Medvedev kicked the ball into the stands and hit a spectator in the eye. After that, the supervisor came onto the court and disqualified the Russian.
In an interview with Sport Express, Guberniev noted that Medvedev needs to keep himself in check. “He's an emotional guy. It seems that he reaches the semi-finals, meets with the legendary tennis player. It would seem that you can win, but there is some kind of psychological discomfort, obviously. Emotions in sports sometimes help, but in this case they hinder,” the commentator said.
After disqualifying his opponent, Djokovic reached the final of the tournament, where he will play with Australian Alex de Minaur. After the disqualification, Medvedev will lose all points for the tournament and fall out of the top 5 in the world rankings.
