Wimbledon 2025: Medvedev, last year’s semifinalist, exits in 1st round after meltdown against Bonzi
Daniil Medvedev found the roasting conditions and a French opponent who had not won a match on grass for three years too hot to handle on Monday as the ninth seed lost 7-6(2), 3-6, 7-6(3), 6-2 loss to Benjamin Bonzi in the Wimbledon first round.
The Russian, who reached the semifinals at the All England Club last year, got all hot and bothered as Bonzi brought out what he described as his “A-game” to dispatch the 2021 US Open champion on Court Two, which felt like an oven throughout the three-hour match.
Desperate to preserve his 100 per cent record of reaching at least the second round at Wimbledon, Medvedev took out his frustrations on his racket, smashing it to the ground after Bonzi had got the better of him yet again in the third set.
