After losing to Daniil Medvedev in a three-set thriller at the Monte Carlo Masters third round, Alexander Zverev has said that the Russian is "one of the most unfair players in the world".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Medvedev survived a dramatic late-night marathon against Zverev on Thursday night, where the third seed rallied to a 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(7) third-round victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
According to Eurosport, at 5-4 down in the second set, Medvedev removed one of the net poles, which drew a smile from Zverev, but the chair umpire Carlos Bernardes took a light-hearted approach, refraining from issuing a warning to Medvedev.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was after that moment that Medvedev turned the match around, winning the next three games before taking the third set after a lengthy tie-break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Moreover, In the deciding game, Medvedev ran off the court at 4-3 to take a toilet break when both players were meant to switch sides.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking to Sky Germany, Zverev said he is really disappointed with Medvedev's on-court behaviour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"He is one of the most unfair players in the world. I take fair play and sportsmanship very seriously. He does not. He takes a toilet break when it's not possible anymore, " Zverev said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"There are 1000 situations in which he feels that I start to play better and in which he tries to do something every time. I'm extremely disappointed from him as an athlete."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
