The world's No. 3-ranked player, Daniil Medvedev, was upset at the Paris Masters. Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria defeated Medvedev in three sets Wednesday.

Emotions appeared to get the best of Daniil Medvedev during a recent tennis match at the Paris Masters. The third-seeded Medvedev lost to Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov Wednesday. At one point during the lengthy match, Medvedev could be heard directing threats at the crowd on hand in Paris. He appeared to be frustrated over whistling. Medvedev took exception to the noises, and the Russian responded by raising a middle finger.

The crowd seemed to begin whistling during the second set after Medvedev threw his racket as Dimitrov rallied. 'I’m not going to play when they whistle,' Medvedev shouted at the umpire. The official then offered Medvedev some advice on how to counter the noises from the spectators. 'The more you stop, the more it annoys them, the more they whistle,' the umpire said.
