Daniil Medvedev says 'idiots' ruined Australian Open final and he may now skip Wimbledon

Daniil Medvedev threatened to prioritise hard-court tournaments in Moscow over Wimbledon or the French Open after the crowd turned on him during his Australian Open final defeat against Rafael Nadal.

Having complained during the match to umpire John Blom about “empty brain...idiots” within a raucous Melbourne crowd, Medvedev said that his experience inside the Rod Laver Arena meant that the “kid stopped dreaming”. He also suggested that being Russian had contributed to the crowd reaction.

'Empty brains... their lives must be very bad!'
