Hamad Medjedovic channels Steph Curry to silence Joao Fonseca’s Rome fans

Former NextGen ATP Finals champion Hamad Medjedovic of Serbia counts Novak Djokovic as one in all his idols. On Saturday in Rome, the 22-year-old delivered a response to the raucous crowd that was squarely supporting his opponent, Joao Fonseca, who was becoming of his legendary compatriot.

After dropping the primary set in opposition to Fonseca, Medjedovic stormed to the second set, and took a 4-1 lead within the decider. Deep within the Rome evening, issues bought tense—between the 2 gamers, and between Medjedovic and the gang—because the fans tried to urge the Brazilian again into the match. Fonseca bought each breaks again, saved a match level within the tenth sport, and was forward 6-5 when the 2 gamers sat for the match’s remaining changeover.

As the rating bought tighter, the gang bought louder in assist of Fonseca, a lot to Medjedovic’s ire.

“Tell them to shut up and let me serve. I’ll play,” Medjedovic was heard saying to chair umpire Jimmy Pinoargote at one stage as he ready to serve. The official responded: “Listen, it’s going to be loud. There’s going to be some people talking. I’m trying my best to control them. Keep playing. You have to play.”
