Nadal has seen enough Danil Medvedev’s Destruction – and says it is time for tennis to take action.
Write Spanish edition, El Pais, Tony Nadal criticized the melting of Medvedev during his first round loss in the US to Benjamin Bonzi.
By condemning the former Numris 1 for his “rebuke stance” in the destruction of his races Tecnifibre after his loss to Bonzi, Tony Nadal called on Tennis to distribute more punishment than $ 42,500 in medveddev fine for his behavior.
Tony Nadal, his uncle and original coach of Rafael Nadal, said that one reason we do not see this kind of behavior in other sports is simple: because they will not tolerate it.
“I believe that the time has come when tennis leaders should consider the possibility of implementing sports sentences for the increasingly ordinary tennis show that breaks their breeds in court,” Tony Nadal wrote in Column. “And that we consider why this kind of rebuke attitudes occur more often in our sport than in other disciplines.
“I’ve never seen a ping-pong player break a paddle and, very rarely, a golf player punishes his club after making a mistake.”

The 2021 Medvedev Open Open sample received a $ 30,000 fine for non -portive behavior and a $ 12,500 fine for races abuse, according to the Grand Slam rule.
He received a total of $ 110,000 ahead of prices, so he still returned a profit at this year’s US Open, though smaller than he would like.
However, Tony Nadal said a player of Medvedev’s experience and skills should never include so dramatically. Uncle Toni affirms the imposed fines “Do not manage to eradicate his behavior” suggesting that a suspension is guaranteed in extreme cases.
“In another unfortunate spectacle, (Medvedev) attacked his Racquet to leave him in pieces,” Tony Nadal wrote for El Pais. “I am surprised that a Player of the Medvedev Stati is unable to calm his nerves and that he is ready to give this image of himself, as well as that high financial sanctions such as the one imposed on him, fail to eradicate his behavior.”
