New York –Danil Medvedev’s Meltdown Monday evening at US Open has sparked concern from Boris Becker.
Former Nommer 1 Becker said that by seeing Medvedev fall into his five-set loss to Benjamin Bonzi, he makes him believe that the former US Open Champion needs counseling.
“We call this” public merging “… I think he needs professional help?!?” Becker posted on X along with Medvedev’s video destroying his races.

ESPN analyst Brad Gilbert, who previously trained Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick and Coco Guff, agreed with Becker. Gilbert replied: “Unfortunately his brain is improving it after losing these close matches for a few months, I agree, he definitely needs help.”
