Daniil Medvedev was on the receiving end of criticism from tennis fans after he complained about the small dimensions of the Arantxa Sanchez Vicario Court during his fourth-round loss at the 2023 Madrid Open.The Russian was beaten 7-6(1), 6-4 by unseeded compatriot Aslan Karatsev on Tuesday, May 2. Medvedev managed a total of 12 winners over the course of two sets, compared to 28 from his opponent, who jumped to No. 89 from No. 121 in the ATP rankings after reaching the quarter-finals of the Masters 1000 tournament.The crowd booed Medvedev during the first-set tiebreak, which made him stop playing. The 2021 US Open champion expressed his disappointment at his match being scheduled on a smaller court instead of the center court — Manolo Santana. He told an official during the match that there was not enough space behind the baseline for him to return as he would have liked."Why do I have this disadvantage when I am No 2 [seed]? I don't understand. It's a little bit strange, right?" Medvedev said.Fans were unimpressed by his behavior and his demands for a center-court match, saying that he needed to stop acting like a child if things didn't go his way."If this is exactly what happened, then fgs.He'ss an amazing player but he really needs to grow the f*ck up. These antics on court aren't funny anymore. He's a grown-a** man and needs to stop acting like a man child," a fan tweeted.lou 🎾@tennisdemonnif this is exactly what happened, then fgs. he's an amazing player but he really needs to grow the fuck up. these antics on court aren't funny anymore. he's a grown ass man and needs to stop acting like a man child twitter.com/jamesgraysport…James Gray@jamesgraysportDaniil Medvedev is still fuming, and now he has the supervisor's ear to complain about his inability to stand deep because he is on the second court in Madrid."Why do I have this disadvantage when I am No 2 [seed]?
