He said “you two must be friends” after the umpire changed the call to favour his opponent. And this was racism? Wow. This is what the world is becoming. I guess Medvedev gets the final laugh nowadays through his persistence and hard work.

This is more like racism against Medvedev

Racist for assuming he’s racist

By this 'standard' , kyrgios should be disqualified for most of his matches

And he shakes the umpires hand for getting disqualified 🤣

Remember when the word “racist” actually meant something?

2016, Medvedev calls an umpire biased coz she was showing partiality and favouritism towards his opponent. As a result he gets disqualified on the pretext of racism for daring to question the professional integrity of a black woman umpire when she was clearly being partial towards a certain player. So many people are happy that he got disqualified. So many people showering hate on him. Well, 3 years down the line he's World Rank No 4, and playing in the US Open Finals. Whereas Young and that umpire are nowhere to be seen. So, all those haters can take that hate, turn it sideways and shove it up their candy asses. Being a Rafa fan I'm obviously gonna be rooting for Rafa however, it would be foolish to say that Medvedev isn't a force to reckon. In the match between Lopez and Medvedev, Medvedev owned the USO crowd like a boss. Those people were just a bunch of assholes and Medvedev responded by not giving a fuck and embracing their hate to motivate himself and win the match and then making a savage post-match comment about their hate.

So he got defaulted for calling them friends.. tf

If you imediatly think of the skin colour when someone ironically tells you that you are à friend with chair umpire, that means that you have a mental issues, and you are presenting "always victim position" and "I see racism everywhere"

That’s the most pathetic umpire I’ve ever seen

Don’t know what else mevedev might have said but saying they must be friends seemed more like a joke than a serious accusation and the fact that is usta pro circuit and the US would explain the premise behind the joke just as well as racism. In the 94 us open final against American Agassi, stich was angry and literally saying to the umpire: are you an American? Are you an American?

Please dont try to tarnish a persons name by bringing in racism. Medvedev was being very unsportsmanlike, i agree. However, i saw no evidence of racism and no one should make those kind of accusations against someone without definite proof. Please change the racism in the title to unsporstmanlike conduct

Where is the racism? Misleading title. Bad call by the umpire and it was Medvedev who was punished. Maybe that’s the racism there.

How was Medvedev, in any way, racist?

Well the umpire defaulting him for that comment just proved they really ARE friends! 😂

i was looking for medvedev racist, where is that video?thanks

...and Medvedev is off to bigger and better things!!

They say medvedev is racist but Wimbledon didn't allow medvedev, rublev ect to play because they are Russian.

This was in the US right? Where else would that happen...

And Danill just beat Rafa, Thiem and Djokovic to win the Nittos ATP finals 2020. Good times eh?

Besides the title of this video, is there any official and explicit claim of racism?

It’s not racism it’s favourtism as she is rooting for young. It just so happens that they are both black

Who came here for old memories after Medvedev reached US Open finals :D

Sorry but if that was the other way round nothing would have been done .. Medvedev was not racist in any way here

I want to know the name of the song that is playing, thanks.

look who's laughing now keep it up Daniil, Young who?

People say everything is racist now a days. Smh. Not even a medvedev fan but he got the last laugh no doubt

00:45 This makes you miss the flying cartoon ball smudge.

Reported for misleading/wrong tittle.

What year was this and what was actually said!?!? And if a racist comment was made, why are there handshakes all around?

The amount of times I've been disqualified for beating opponent with a racquet for faking clay court marks... they need to get rid of clay courts.

It obviously wasnt racist. People who see racism here are being tendencious and biased and accusing with no proof. I dont blame them its just a mistake of them everybody makes mistakes its just sad to keep living in the mistake. U gotta follow reason

Obviously can't hear all the dialogue, so don't know really know if anything racist was said. If it is just for "You two are friends", then that is pure conjecture on Medvedev’s intentions. However, implying collusion on the umpire's and player's part in cheating, then yeah, a punishment. Disqualification from a match for that comment seems harsh though.

The racism here was against Medvedev... the americans out there found a nice way of ganging up against a non-american... good for him... the stars aligned much better for him... and will continue to do so... the powers above will decide who was and who was not racist... i hope those two got their answer good... from now on the tennis bosses should invest in an impartial jury selected from spectators or general public to decide on such matters of controversy in sporting arenas... too much social media name calling is not at all good for anyone....

What was the actual comment that got him disqualified? The video clip says for "racism" what did he say that was racist? "I know you are friends" is not what I would call racist, there must be more to it than that

He said “I know that you are friends. I am sure about it.” Apparently that was racist.

At least young beat a grand slam finalist

Young did the same thing recently with Ryan Harrison maybe that’s the only way he can win matches these days 😂

What's the name of the commentator. I often hear how he comments and I like his style.

If anything, ref is the one w racism issues

Hmm.. I think the ball was in, it doesnt look like it wasnt in and sometimes players who actually are still ordinary people get frustrated, the more they are sure that they have right the more they get frustrated. Acutally I think he would say that no matter what colour of skin his opponent or umpire would have. What do you think?

Колоссальный прогресс Медведева.Браво

Why the clay is grey ?

Cf. Serena@usOpen2018 what SHE told the judge... was she defaulted? = even #codeVioL8 was called in2 question

Ohhhhhhh no! Don't you dare tell a black person they're biased! If you do, prepare for this BS.

P.S. The announcer "it must have been pretty bad" Medvedev "you must be friends" Wow. I can't believe what this world has come to! The sensitivity is getting way out of hand!

Medvedev knew what he was doing. He left with his tail in between his legs. He wouldn’t defend what he did

What did he say exactly?

Medvedev is a mental fellow. He should be joined as a patient in mental hospital. He kicked the camera with his leg in another incident. It is an accident that he hit the camera during a rally, can’t he handle an accident. Cheap mentality by medvedev. Cameras being placed on the court is upto the tournament’s decision. Medvedev behaves like a spoiled kid.

Shame on this tournament!

Defaulted for racism? Very inappropriate title

Well that was a pathetic way to get rid of the competition….

Alleged racism

I was reading the wikipedia page "List of tennis code violations - list of disqualifications" and I read that he was "Disqualified over 'question[ing] the impartiality of the umpire based on her race,' the US Tennis Association said." ... well, no. Definitely an anti-white bias by the umpire.

I was expecting something like the Layton Hewitt vs James Blake incident, but not even close.

Yanks... and their side of truth.

This is stupid. Nothing to see here but a normal clay court dispute over line calls.

How is saying you two must be friends a racist remark? What the hell is this?

What did hapend i watch 100 times and i dony understand

Title is misleading

The forehand was most likely in though.

Of course this is in the US.

So what was the whole fuss all about?!

Can happen only in murica

"No Blacks, no racism"

I’m shocked and disappointed, Ryan Harrison, to hear you tell me how you really feel about me as a black tennis player in the middle of our NY match. I thought this was supposed to be an inclusive gentleman’s sport. - Donald Young Jr (@Yimlife1313) February 13, 2018 Ryan Harrison The accusations made by Donald Young tonight following our match are absolutely untrue. I’m extremely disappointed that someone would say this in reaction to a lost tennis match. Any video/audio will 100% clear me and I encourage anyone with the available resources to find it. Nice strategy to accuse everybody in racism))))))

Got to this page by accident. Nice shot Medvedev! The only racist here is the supervisor. This is a disgraceful moment in sport.

and they let serena play on after she threatened a filipino line judge... #FightAsianHate... lol

No racism. Just stupid header.

This stupid decision proves that Medvedev was true

Lleyton Hewitt said something similar to a black linesman when he played James Blake, and he got away with it.

1:35 nobody heard Young say “come on, dick”?

Damn, that ref sure took that microaggression personally. Sets a dangerous example.

embarrassing and yet unsurprising

No racism...young and the ref was like cheating and then the officials jusy finished him

@AoF-F1 you should change the title. He wasn't defaulted for racism, he was defaulted for questioning the integrity of the umpire. Racism was just the shitty motivation behind that

This guy is a clown.

Accusing someone of being racist, is racist?

I'd like to know exactly what was said. If all Medvedev said was that Young and the Chair Umpire must be friends, I don't think that rises to the level of racism. You could say that about any umpire and player to suggest preferential treatment on questionable calls. If you want to see racism on court, THIS is it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9ViiMZq0creh58.html

Think Dostoyevsky, and you will love Medvedev.

"The USTA later released a statement confirming Medvedev was disqualified for racist comments. There’s understandable speculation that Medvedev said something worse than the “friends” remark picked up on the video feed."

Click bait😒

Our son is the ball boy at the net. He heard it all.

🤦‍♂️Some people take things too personal, has anyone seen Donald Young🤣

Where do they get these umpires ? Did she ever run down a tennis ball ? Useless.

Incredible how many pricks out there defending another prick that disrespects authority like that.

How overweight is that Umpire?

Racist or not, if you do wrong, admit it and take the consequences.

Don't like Medv but like that' not racism even though it might be if put into context but there's not enough to go on just on that. I have an incident where my coworker told me to do something he's suppose to do then I jokingly said no then did it anyways because I'm a nice guy. He told manager and he took me off for a week. Insane I got punished for something I wasn't even supposed to do in the first place. This world fills with people who use any excuse to take down people they don't like.

Total BS ...

Racism? Where?

look at that he just won his first grand slam 6-4 6-4 6-4

02:17 bloopers

I guess you critizise black referees in tennis, that seems oddly racist

He used the n slur at the 2022 Aus Open finals...

The time put this guys and the umpire in the place that they deserves. And yeah, Medvedev today is un the semis of US OPEN with a M1000 win. The "victims", maybe in the eight hours.

the whole thing starts with Medvedev's disrespect as he sits down and says "go and check." that's just not cool.

Medvedev got the last laugh since he is doing much better in the rankings.

Are you nuts?!! Russia never had any problem with black people! What racism?

Just a lesson that people will manipulate any scenario to end you quicker. Don’t give them the advantage. Focus on the game.
