Birds on the net stall Medvedev in wild US Open rally

Daniil Medvedev was frustrated when two birds perched on the net paused his US Open second-round match with Sebastian Gorzny, prompting a quick point replay before he went on to a 6-1, 6-3, 7-5 win. Medvedev joked the incident ranks among the tournament’s quirkiest moments after cruising to the third round with 14 aces, a contrast to his past on-court meltdowns.
