You’ve got to be pretty patient to work with Medvedev, haven’t you?!”\n\nHowever, it was Medvedev’s wife Daria who eventually appeared to lose patience with the Russian’s outbursts.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n> \"Todos tenemos calor, todos lo estamos pasando mal. Compórtate\" 🥵\n>\n> La discusión de Medvedev con su mujer en pleno partido #RolandGarros pic.twitter.com/F4aHnf2Mjn\n>\n> — Eurosport.es (@Eurosport_ES) May 26, 2026\n\nAs Medvedev continued complaining during the opening exchanges, she could be heard responding bluntly from the stands.\n\n“It’s hot for everybody,” she told him.\n\n“Everybody is suffering. You need to behave!”\n\nThe former US Open champion quickly fired back.\n\n### LATEST SPORTS NEWS:\n\n\n\n\n  * Rafael Nadal shows off disfigured foot for the first time after years of tennis took a toll\n  * Lewis Hamilton admits reason behind improved form after finishing second at Canadian Grand Prix\n  * World Cup chiefs make alcohol decision as seismic summer event creeps closer\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n“When I start finding the court, I’ll start to behave!” Medvedev replied.\n\nThe tense exchange summed up another miserable Grand Slam outing for Medvedev, whose struggles at Roland Garros continued despite arriving in Paris showing signs of improved form.\n\nThe Russian has endured a torrid run at major tournaments over the past 18 months and has now suffered seven first-round exits at the French Open during his career.\n\nFormer player Alex Corretja defended Medvedev’s emotional outbursts while analysing the scenes on TNT Sports, insisting the Russian often needs to release his frustration verbally during matches.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n“Well, it’s funny... Daniil needs that,” Corretja said.“He needs these kinds of conversations.\n\n“Sometimes, he doesn't even think what he's saying.\n\n“Sometimes you can say things to relieve a little bit of the stress you're feeling.”\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe match itself swung wildly throughout a dramatic afternoon in Paris.\n\nWalton stunned Medvedev by taking the first set before the Russian responded emphatically, levelling the contest with a dominant 6-1 second set.\n\nMomentum continued to shift as both players traded another pair of one-sided sets to force a deciding fifth.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMedvedev initially looked set to survive after earning an early break in the decider, but Walton refused to fade and battled brilliantly to drag himself back into the contest.\n\nThe Australian then saved three break points during a gruelling 17-point service game before Medvedev completely unravelled late on.\n\nWalton broke the Russian to love in the closing stages to seal a stunning upset and leave Medvedev’s Grand Slam ambitions in ruins once again.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
