Daniil Medvedev says that no one is immune to bouse in tennis

Daniil Medvedev says that bouing is becoming more common on the professional tours and that any player can seemingly earn the audience laughs.

Medvedev is an expressive and sometimes combative player, but he says that it’s not just the bad boys of the game who are yelling on the court.

He believes it can take very little to turn the crowd against a player, with even the likes of world number one Novak Djokovic getting a boost.

Medvedev earned laughs throughout his match with his young compatriot Alexander Shevchenko on Monday, although he admits. Madrid crowd to set themselves on fire.

You know, I hit the club a little after the first set. I was disappointed by some mistakes, Medvedev said.

So they [the Madrid crowd] started screaming. I thought, yeah, let’s do more of that. But then when you play a good point, you can also put them on your side.

Medvedev understands why the crowd gave him the stick, but he was puzzled by their reaction to Holger Rune.

Rune rubbed his tracks off the court during a prolonged discussion between his opponent Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and the officials.

This act, coupled with the fact that he was playing a Spaniard in Spain, drew a sour response from the crowd.

I actually watched Holger yesterday without sound so I thought something was going on but I watched it without sound. So I heard that something happened, said Medvedev.

I didn’t see it.

I mean again, it’s about whether you earned it or not. I don’t think Holger did anything yesterday. So yes, it’s disappointing.

Sometimes you deserve it, sometimes you don’t. I probably hit the bat a bit, so maybe I deserve it.

Once, when I took the challenge, they started fussing. What, You don’t want me to take the challenge?’

Medvedev believes that tennis audiences are now inclined to tell players how they feel, positively or negatively.

I feel that sometimes even the public right now in tennis, for some reason, I don’t know, maybe it was like this before, gets into this tension, Medvedev continued.

So as soon as something happens, they don’t even know what’s going on, they just praise you.

I’ve experienced this quite a bit. Novak experienced it. So a lot of players.

I think that’s just part of tennis at the moment.
