Australian Open 2025 results: Daniil Medvedev destroys camera in five-set thriller against world number 418 Kasidit Samrej

Medvedev began shouting at his coach as early as the second set before his emotions really came to the fore in the third when he went a break down.

After an unfortunate net cord went against him, Medvedev repeatedly whacked the middle of the net, destroying his racquet and the camera.

The visual feed from the camera immediately cut out and a ball kid had to sweep up the pieces that had broken off.

Just as Medvedev looked on course for his earliest exit in Melbourne since his Grand Slam debut in 2017, Samrej faltered physically.

“Second and third set, I couldn’t touch the ball. Full power, everything in, I didn’t know what to do,” Medvedev added.

“I watched his matches and I didn’t see his level, so I was surprised. If he plays like this every match, life will be good – money, girls, casino, whatever.”
