Daniil Medvedev will not be fined after accusing umpires of “trying to intimidate him” as the ATP ruled his warning for not giving his “best effort” during his China Open defeat to Learner Tien was issued in error.
A cramping Medvedev could barely walk as he entered a third set against Tien and the Russian was stunned to be given a warning for “lack of effort” when the 19-year-old aced him with a routine serve down the middle of the court.
