US Open backs umpire after photographer steps on court in Medvedev–Bonzi match
The USTA defended chair umpire Greg Allensworth for giving Benjamin Bonzi a first serve after a photographer entered the court during match point in the third set against Daniil Medvedev. The photographer’s credential was revoked. Medvedev said his protest was about the ruling, not the photographer. Bonzi said Medvedev inflamed the crowd. The USTA will review security and media access protocols.
