Andrey Rublev lashed out at umpire Lahyani about several line calls during the match that threw off his rhythm.

Andrey Rublev ultimately won that match so in the grand scheme of things it didn't matter but the Russian was more than unhappy with some of the line umpires' calls. It happened after the first set concluded as Medvedev took in the tiebreak, a tiebreak where Rublev had set points.

He was up a break earlier in the set as well so the anger has been building up for a while. Rublev is known for these outbursts and one came after the end of the first set. He yelled:

"4-1, took it 5-1. Serve? – That he didn’t return. Doesn’t matter how he called it! Two points! Two points on the tie-break! Two f*cking points on the f*cking tie-break. Two points! Two points!"

He came back to win the match in three sets despite the breakdown in the first.
