NEW YORK: Russia's Daniil Medvedev put the bad blood between him and the U.S. Open crowd behind him on Tuesday, apologising to fans and thanking them after having encouraged them to boo him earlier in the tournament following his erratic on-court behaviour.
"So many people support me, but still so many people don't like me. I can just say, I try to be myself," he said with a smile."I have to say sorry guys and thank you."The 23-year-old had never sought to be the pantomime villain at this year's tournament but when fans turned on him during his third-round clash with Lopez on Louis Armstrong Court, he embraced the negativity.
The crowd let him have it again after his fourth-round win over Dominik Koepfer on Sunday when he performed a dance after match point.But he was far more reserved on Tuesday and the crowd applauded his post-match apology and appreciated him fighting through a left leg injury that required a medical time out.
His 23rd-seeded opponent Wawrinka had got a walkover against holder Novak Djokovic in the fourth round after the world number one quit in the third set with a shoulder injury.
