Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev had a frustrating night at the 2025 Canadian Open in Toronto, losing to defending champion Alexei Popyrin in three sets. After the match, Medvedev walked off the court quickly, leaving his bag and rackets behind, a rare and surprising moment that showed how upset he was.
Medvedev started strong and won the first set 7–5. But Popyrin came back and played better in the next two sets, winning 6–4, 6–4. His strong serving and cool mindset helped him beat the former world No. 1.
After shaking hands, Medvedev didn’t stay on the court. He left in a hurry without picking up his gear. Cameras showed his tennis bag still sitting courtside after he disappeared into the locker room. Fans and commentators were shocked.
Medvedev has been having a tough season. His serve wasn’t working well in this match, and he's been losing early in several tournaments. His world ranking has also dropped in 2025. All this likely added to his frustration.
This win is another big step for Popyrin. He shocked everyone last year by winning the Canadian Open as an underdog. Now he’s proving it wasn’t a fluke. He’ll face Holger Rune in the next round.
