Daniil Medvedev commented on the disqualification of Denis Shapovalov.
At a tournament in Washington, the Canadian was removed from the match after he shouted at a spectator.

You can`t see what happened on TV. But from what I`ve heard, this is worthy of a warning - maybe a fine after the match. Disqualification? I didn`t see him insult the linesman or anyone else involved in the match. So I was surprised when I read it on the internet. At first I thought: What did he do? Did you hit someone with a racket on purpose? Did you throw your racket and hit someone?

Right now the ATP is doing some things well and some things less well. But I have a feeling that they don`t have a clear understanding of what they are doing. If they want people to move during matches and everyone to talk - and such tests are underway - then the players need to be more expressive. They want everything to be more like Formula 1, football. But in this case, you cannot ask the players to be calm robots - if there is a circus, a show around.

Players and fans need to be made clearer about what they can and can`t do.
