Center of attention Daniil Medvedev continued his fine form in 2024 as he beat Holger Rune to advance to the semifinals. In another exciting matchup, the Russian came out on top, but not before causing quite a stir online.

The match started well, with the two players giving it their all. As predicted, none of them gave it easy, fighting for every point. Medvedev’s consistency flustered throughout the match as he matched the Dane’s level and even did one better. While a determined Holger Rune did try to take the match to a first-set tiebreak, Medvedev won it 7-5.

However, the youngster changed from defense to offense during the first point on his serve and ended up firing a shot directly at the Russian. Though Rune quickly apologized for it, Medvedev failed to notice it and even waited at the nets for one.

A confused Rune looked at him, to which Medvedev reacted with a snarky gesture. Well, the drama was bound to follow. Even though it was late, the Russians did cause a scene at the Indian Wells.

The Russian did not see his opponent apologize after aiming a shot at him, and Medvedev was rather furious about it. However, he did realize the miscommunication and even apologized to Rune for it.

Despite being informed by his coach, the 28-year-old was completely lost in the heat of the moment, which sparked that small incident with Rune. Even at the post-match interview, he explained himself, revealing that he was mad at that point, and apologized after being told that it was his mistake.

I didn't know. I get crazy I get mad. Carlos tells me he said sorry. He tells me he said sorry. I say sorry that I didn't see you say sorry. And all is done.
Said Medvedev via the Indian Wells press.
I didn't see it. So I got mad. But it was, it happened, and then when they both told me it happened, that's when I was from my side, sorry for my reaction. Let's move forward, yeah,
Said Medvedev via Indian Wells press.
