This is reported by Ubitennis.net.

It is noted that the world number five, who holds a Russian passport and plays under a neutral flag, was accused of violations during both of his matches at this year’s tournament.

So, in the first round, during a match against Kasidit Samrej from Thailand, Medvedev hit the net with his racket several times and damaged the camera on it, as well as broke the racket itself.

From the time of the second match against the American Tien Medvedev threw the racket in the direction of billboards and argued with the referee, and after the match did not appear at the mandatory press conference.
