Watch: 'In or Out?' After some triggering umpire drama, Daniil Medvedev wins his match against Gael Monfils in Monte Carlo

This in-or-out confusion occurred more than once, as the chair umpire had to get onto the field several times to check the call himself. Medvedev was right in one of those calls, but the other one had to be the umpire’s, as the ball was clearly in. 

Despite such inconvenience, Medvedev had complete control of the match, not allowing his opponent to catch a break. In no time, Medvedev beat Monfils 6-2, 6-4 to seal his spot in the Round of 16 at the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters. 

After the match, the Russian was asked to sign the camera. “In or Out” penned down Medvedev, which summed up the match. There were a lot of arguments over the calls, but not much loss to Medvedev, who ended up on the winning side. 

Daniil Medvedev and the chair umpire shake it off after a dispute over line calls

Hot-head Daniil Medvedev’s fiery nature was once again on display as he argued with the umpire over a series of calls. He was even spotted as very frustrated at one point. 

Nonetheless, there was not much harm done to the match, as the Russian took it home. He beat Gael Monfils in straight sets and followed it with an apology to the chair umpire. After the match, the Russian shook hands with the umpire and even exchanged a few kind words with him.

Let’s see. Maybe I was wrong. Said Daniil Medvedev to the umpire, who also apologized for the Hawkeye. 

No, I think you’re right. Hawkeye always shows that way.  Said Medvedev

Medvedev, who had recently started to try to maintain his cool on the court, lost it once again. However, he does apologize, which is quite rare in Russian. With this win, he booked a third-round match against his friend Karen Khachanov.
