Medvedev is handsome.

But I did not understand why the hell he collapsed on the court like a dead fish and showed everyone his tongue. Huh

This is a stupid gesture, I do not approve of it.
Although the victory was certainly a big grief for the Djokovic.

I wouldn't take that gesture to seriously as it wasn't meant to be disrespectful or anything like that. He had just beaten the strongest tennis player in the world in straight three sets in a Grand Slam tournament. Not sure if we would be able to control our emotions fully and don't make a weird gesture as well. He deserved this one although I am still shocked that game ended 3 - 0. I wonder if anyone placed a bet on that result? Cheesy

I think some bets on that match cost people a lot of money. But that's what betting is, sometimes one gets lucky, sometimes one gets broke. and about the gesture, we honestly have seen people make different kinds of gestures in the past, and some got heavily punished for those. But as a sportsman, he's representing his country on one of the biggest stages. So he should keep his certain emotions in check. But depending on the adrenaline rush of human body, it can be really hard to do at times. Again, it's not about being guilty or not, it's about the little kid who thinks of the sportsperson as his idol.

Oh indeed, Djokovic was the favorite for everyone. I talked to so many people, I was myself bloody certain he is going to go for the 21st Grand Slam title, and yet Medvedev got in his way. And seriously I just watched his gesture again, that gesture was just peaceful and in no way disrespectful. He even had a double fault to 40 : 30, imagine his pressure. No, that gesture isn't something I'd particularly dislike about his match.
