'Brain is scrambled': Medvedev fumes as coach laughs

World No.5 Daniil Medvedev was left red-faced during his second round clash against Alexandre Muller at Wimbledon.

The Russian, known to blow a gasket on court over virtually anything, was gradually becoming frustrated in the first set against Frenchman Alexandre Muller as the first frame was sent to a tiebreak.

So when Muller was leading 5-3 in the final stages of the first set, Medvedev hit a shot long to make it 6-3 as the Russian stormed off the court, furious and mouthing off at his coaches before taking his seat.

"He's getting himself into a bit of a state here, he seems distracted," Mark Petchey said in commentary for Stan Sport.

"He doesn't know the score, he thinks that's set," Todd Woodbridge added.

"The brain is scrambled."

While seated he continued giving his box a gobful, seemingly telling them the set was over. But he quickly realised the tiebreak was still in play and sheepishly took his position on court.

His coaches could not help but smile at their player's lapse in concentration, but their smiles swiftly turned south after Medvedev lost the following point to officially lose the first.

While not ideal, the gaffe didn't impact the result in the end as Medvedev fought back impressively to win the next three sets 7-6 (4), 6-4, 7-5 to advance into the third round of the tournament.

"It was a great match to be honest," he said.

"There were moments in the match when it was not as easy as the score would suggest.

"So I'm really happy with my level. I still never lost on No.1 Court so hopefully I can play a lot more matches on this court.

"I said last year before the semi-final that, unfortunately, I have to go to Centre Court and I actually lost.

"This year I got lucky, I managed to practise on Centre before the tournament so maybe it can give me some edge for the future, but for the moment I want to play on Court No.1 and try to win."
